Description
Summary:Savannah Howard sacrificed her high school social life to make sure she got into a top college. When she is accepted to the ivy-covered walls of Wooddale University on a full ride, how can she say no? But she discovers Wooddale is far from the perfectly manicured community it sells on its brochures. Savannah comes face-to-face with microagressions stemming from racism and elitism. When the statue of Clive Wilmington, Wooddale's first Black president, is vandalized with blackface, the prime suspect is Lucas Cunningham, Wooddale's most popular student and son to a local prominent family. When she discovers the truth about Wooddale's past, will it cost Savannah her own future? -- adapted from Goodreads info
