Elite by Carrie Arons

Elite

Blurb:
A PRIVILEGED standalone novel, get ready for secret societies, international romance, and college debauchery... 

If you’re in, you’ll never have to ask. If you ask, you’ll never be in. 

Eloise Mason knows what it’s like to live among the privileged. Seeking a change from the upper crust society of Europe, she flies halfway across the world for a semester abroad in the one place guaranteed to toss responsibility out the window and provide some good, old-fashioned fun; college in The United States. 

Except nothing at the picturesque, Ivy-covered university in Vermont appears as it seems. And after a mysterious invitation arrives on her doorstep, curiosity wins over the need to turn her back on games meant for the rich and ruthless. 

Secret societies, risky tasks, and an inner circle to rival the royals. But it may just be one American boy who threatens to be the most dangerous endeavor of all. 

Colton Reiter defines the word idolized at Jade Mountain University. In fact, he practically rules the roost from the three-point line of the basketball court. The college’s star point guard, he is a god and treated as such; professional scouts at every game, teachers looking the other way when it comes to grades, and girls falling into his lap at the snap of a finger. He wants for nothing, or at least that’s what he wants everyone to believe. 

But when he meets the sassy girl with the British accent who could care less about his status, her very existence threatens to unveil the skeletons buried deep in the back of his closet. 

With stakes this high, and hearts on the line, can they turn their backs on power and popularity before the ivory tower comes crashing down on their heads?

My thoughts:
So this book was interesting. Most times when you have an international character it is a male. Not in this book. I really liked the change for once. I also liked that we got to see both sides because this book was different than most. This book also has two of my favorite thing in it: sports and food. the story is so touching and it will melt your heart. My heart went to both of the main characters. Overall, great story and I can not wait to read the next book.
