This sharply observed and bitingly funny novel exposes the over-the-top absurdity of New York City`s elite private school admissions circus. For Manhattan's most affluent parents, the Tuesday after Labor Day marks the beginning of the city's most competitive and vicious blood sport: the start of the private school admissions process. But for Helen Drager, mother of Zoe, it shouldn't be such an ordeal. After all, Helen's best friend Sara is an admissions officer at Zoe's current K-8. But Sara's position becomes precarious, and Helen soon finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mounting lunacy generated by the fierce competition.

Thank you, litsy! I was perusing my shelves for books with #onewordtitles for #photoadaynov16 and found this book I know I'll never read. It may be fine, but the preschool competition thing isn't for me. There's a LFL outside my favorite sandwich shop where it lives now awaiting another reader.

I love being the first to post about a book. I got Red Rising from the library, but @MAESTROvonBOOKSTEIN pilfered it from me so I picked this off my bookshelf at random. It's already annoying me by doing the whole "I work at a school called The School" thing a la Nanny Diaries.
