reviews
“A delightfully acerbic send-up of the college admissions process...Coll is alert to the comedy---and the pathos---of a system that leads high school seniors to solicit recommendation letters from their pediatricians.”
“...hilarious and dismaying... alarming, disturbing, disquieting, agitating, perturbing...”
“...Susan Coll's third novel is a winning social comedy... She captures the reasoned irrationality of teens, often with startling clarity.”
“…the smartest, funniest novel in the growing genre…”
