Admission

I was excited to get this book from the library to read and dug right in. This college admissions scandal story is told from the perspective of the student whose parents cheat to get them into the college of their choice. While this sounded to me like a juicy ‘ripped from the headlines' story, it is more accurate to say it's a coming of age story of sorts. The author does a good job of bringing the reader along with the young woman who experiences shock, denial, anger, and eventually grows as a person to understand all the many layers of wrong that happened. She loses so much and finds her real self at the end.
