Admission by Julie Buxbaum

My full review can be found on the Epilie Aspie Chick blog

Thank you to Delacorte Press for providing the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

I get it, this is one of those stories where you relate with what is happening because its something we've all heard about. There are very few people who haven't heard about the college admissions scandal that hit multiple celebrities and high class families. When it comes to stories that relate heavily to real life situations, I expect the story to provide some new insight that you would not have seen elsewhere. Considering how much I loved the author's book "Hope and Other Punch Lines", I had high expectations that she would nail bringing a new light to this territory. Instead, what's given is an unlikable lead character in a situation that only highlights her low level of moral strength.
