People\'s Book of the Week Perfect for fans of Curtis Sittenfeld\'s Prep.
Through a comical and crazy run of wildly unpredictable interviews, subtle bribes, outright threats, final judgments, and page-turning twists, the highly competitive and occasionally absurd world of private school Admissions is brought to light in all of its outrageous glory that is reminiscent of Curtis Sittenfeld\'s Prep.
As the process revs up, Kate meets smart kids who are unlikable, likeable kids who aren\'t very smart, and Park Avenue parents who refuse to take no for an answer.
In her new position Kate learns there\'s no time for self-pity or nonsense during the thick of the Admissions season, or what her colleagues refer to as the dark time.
Miraculously, Kate manages to land a job in the Admissions department at the revered Hudson Day School.
Her friends don\'t know what to do other than pass tissues and hope for a comeback, while her practical sister, Angela, pushes every remedy she can think of, from trapeze class to therapy to job interviews.
