Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler: A Memoir by Wade Rouse

kim_n31's review against another edition

2.0

I have a strange fascination with prep/private schools for some reason. They seem so...alien to me. This book was less about the school, however, and more about the author's relationship with one particular mother in the school. It was well written and reasonably engaging- I really felt for the author's desire to make the school live up to what it says it is- but at the same time, I didn't really enjoy it.

I thought this would be a guilty pleasure, a fun portrait of the rich women who make the lives of the little people miserable. Instead, or actually in addition to that, I found a well-written memoir. Rouse was a closeted gay man working at an exclusive prep school at the start of the book. The journey he takes is memorable.
