Why read it?
2 authors picked Small Admissions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
We read several popular novels that explore competitive school environments. One of the best in this sub-genre is Small Admissions, by Amy Poeppel, which provides a fictional glimpse into the cut-throat world of Manhattan prep school admissions and ultra-competitive parents. Poeppel crafts a fun, wicked read with sharp dialogue. We could easily imagine what would happen when the children in Small Admissions apply to college…their parents would fit in well with the characters in our book.
From Tracy's list on college admissions mania.
Have you ever read a book by Amy Poeppel? Well, her books are humorous, and I am partial to smart New York writers who make me laugh. I love when a reader tells me she had to get out of bed while enjoying one of my books because her husband complained about her laughter. Amy’s first book, Small Admissions, reveals the killer race to be admitted to the toniest private schools in Manhattan. Do you have a spouse? Get out of bed to read Small Admissions.
From Marilyn's list on by authors who make me laugh.
