MomsBehavingBadly

Girls with Bright Futures | Tracy Dobmeier, Wendy Katzman

“This is beyond soap opera, it‘s Jerry Springer level”
Three HS seniors attending the same exclusive Seattle private school are informed that Stanford University will only be accepting one of them. Let the drama begin. It‘s not just the students who bring out the claws, it‘s the moms!!!! I see this book as an HBO miniseries ala Big Little Lies. Hmmm, maybe Felicity Huffman & Lori Loughlin can star.

Cinfhen I found this book completely believable and unputdownable. Very current and shines a spotlight on the college admissions scandal, the extreme lengths parents will go to and the inflated privilege & ego associated with certain colleges & universities. Major props to authors Wendy Katzman and Tracy Dobmeier for nailing the helicopter-moms craziness and unchecked competitiveness. I can‘t wait to see what these friends write next.

mom2bugnbee This sounds fantastic, but I'm trying to decide if it would be too much for my mama heart, with a freshman in college & a sophomore starting her college research. 4y

Cinfhen If you‘ve already been done the college admissions process @mom2bugnbee you‘re probably already scarred from the ordeal😉 This book felt REAL - and it‘s been 6 years since my middle son graduated college & 10 for my daughter!!!!! It‘s pretty accurate description of those #MomsBehavingBadly @Reviewsbylola @Butterfinger 4y

Butterfinger My Abigail is going through this right now. She has been accepted by the school of her choice on her own merits. But, I couldn't help thinking of current events when she was going through the application process. 4y

Cinfhen Congrats @Butterfinger it‘s such a stressful time for the kids and all the external pressures do not help!! My daughter got wait- listed at her top school and eventually she was accepted but at that point she had already moved on to a different school, which she ended up LOVING. 4y

KVanRead @Cinfhen @mom2bugnbee @Butterfinger Congrats to your daughter, Butterfinger! Going through this with my youngest right now too & not sure I could handle this book any more than I‘ve ever been able to handle these types of moms. She‘s been accepted into 2 programs she really likes and is waiting on 2 more before deciding but is already happy. Truth is there are so many good schools & this pressure is terrible for kids and moms too!! 4y

Cinfhen Glad to hear your daughter has good options/ choices @KVanRead Senior year is SO HARD, especially on the moms 😂😂😂 4y
