<p>"A fun, fast-paced, completely engrossing tale of a California family trying to get their eldest daughter into Harvard. Let me rave: this book is brilliant and enjoyable on every level." --Elin Hilderbrand, author of <i>The Rumor </i> <p/>"<i>The Admissions </i>proves that no cookie-cutter family is as perfect as they seem. . . . Incredible." --<i>Good Housekeeping</i> <p/>"Meg Mitchell Moore is a tremendously talented storyteller. Brimming with humor and warmth, <i>The Admissions </i>introduces readers to a family so insightfully drawn and deliciously flawed that it will remain with you long after you reach the final page.... I loved it!" --Meg Donohue, author of <i> All the Summer Girls </i> <p/>"<i>The Admissions</i> is a smart, hilarious, compelling novel about college applications, suburban scandals, and risky secrets. I couldn't stop reading about the Hawthornes--a picture perfect family who will 'keep up with the Joneses' until they burst." --Jennifer Close, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Girls in White Dresses</i> <p/>"There's plenty of drama--and a surprising amount of comedy--in the convergence of events that exposes all of the family secrets. But while Moore lets her characters unravel, she doesn't leave them in pieces." --<i>Shelf Awareness </i> <p/>"Terrific. . . . [Moore's] background as a journalist lends a crisp deftness to her delightful writing style, and engages the reader immediately." --<i>The Free Lance-Star</i> (Fredericksburg, VA) <p/>"Stellar. . . . A page turner as well as an insightful character study." --<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>"Moore presents her characters in all their flawed glory and lovable short-sighted determination, spinning out the story of one family's collapse and rebirth with energy and wit. Part thought-provoking commentary, part zany satire on the definition of success and the choices some are willing to make to achieve it, this is a book that is sure to earn a good deal of attention." --<i>RT Book Reviews<br></i><br>"When a high school senior is vying for Harvard, her whole family sizzles in the pressure cooker and <i>schadenfreude</i> (good SAT word) runs amuck. . . . Achingly real and delightfully cheeky." --Sally Koslow, author of <i>The Widow Waltz</i> <p/>"A wonderfully complex and relatable portrait of a family and the secrets they keep to protect each other and themselves. When the truth threatens, you'll turn pages faster than ever." --Charity Shumway, author of <i>Ten Girls to Watch</i> <p/>"An engaging, droll and spot-on study of what happens when aspirations become obsessions, when integrity and good sense bend to the allure of preferred outcomes." --David McCullough Jr., internationally bestselling author of<i> You Are Not Special</i> <p/>"With her razor sharp wit and stirringly keen insights, Meg Mitchell Moore digs deep into the zeitgeist of a modern family desperate to keep their heads above water. . . . An undeniably addictive read." --Emily Liebert, author of <i>When We Fall</i></p>
