About this product
Product Information
The Admissions brilliantly captures the frazzled pressure cooker of modern life as a seemingly perfect family comes undoneby a few desperate measures, long-buried secret and college applications The Hawthorne family has it all. Great jobs, a beautiful house in one of the most affluent areas of Northern California, and three charming kids whose sunny futures are all but assured. And then comes their eldest daughter s senior year of high school . . . Firstborn Angela Hawthorne is a straight-A student and star athlete, with extracurricular activities coming out of her ears and a college application that s not going to write itself. She s set her sights on Harvard, her father s alma mater, and like a dog with a chew toy, Angela won t let up until she s basking in crimson-colored glory. Except her class rank as valedictorian is under attack, she s suddenly losing her edge at cross-country, and she can t help but daydream about a cute baseball player. Of course Angela knows the time put into her schoolgirl crush would be better spent coming up with a subject for her English term paper which, along with her college essay, has a rapidly approaching deadline. Angela s mother, Nora, is similarly stretched to the limit, juggling parent-teacher meetings, carpool, and a real estate career where she caters to the mega-rich and super-picky buyers and sellers of the Bay Area. The youngest daughter, second-grader Maya, still can t read; the middle child, Cecily, is no longer the happy-go-lucky kid she once was; and their dad, Gabe, seems oblivious to the mounting pressures at home because a devastating secret of his own might be exposed. A few ill-advised moves put the Hawthorne family on a collision course that s equal parts achingly real and delightfully screwball and they learn that whatever it cost to get their lucky lives it may cost far more to keep them. Sharp, topical, and wildly entertaining, The Admissions shows that if you pull at a loose thread, even the sturdiest lives start to unravel at the seams of high achievement."

Let me rave: this book is brilliant and enjoyable on every level. I LOVED IT! It's my money-back guarantee of 2015 ." -- Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times Bestselling author of Beautiful Day and The Matchmaker, " Every once in a while I read a book so good that the quality of my entire life improves .

It's my money-back guarantee of 2015 ." -- Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times Bestselling author of Beautiful Day and The Matchmaker " The Admissions is a smart, hilarious, compelling novel about college applications, suburban scandals, and risky secrets. I couldn't stop reading about the Hawthorne's--a picture perfect family who will "Keep up with the Joneses" until they burst." -- Jennifer Close, New York Times bestselling author of Girls in White Dresses "Meg Mitchell Moore is a tremendously talented storyteller. Brimming with humor and warmth, The Admissions introduces readers to a family so insightfully drawn and deliciously flawed that it will remain with you long after you reach the final page. This is a story that feels both uniquely Californian and entirely American-- aspiration, desire, spectacular failure, and heartwarming success abound. I loved it!" -- Meg Donohue, USA Today Bestselling author of Dog Crazy and All the Summer Girls "When a high school senior is vying for Harvard, her whole family sizzles in the pressure cooker and schadenfreude (good SAT word) runs amuck. Meg Mitchell Moore takes aim at the emotional mayhem of an upscale West Coast family who wants the American dream writ large. This novel is achingly real and delightfully cheeky." -- Sally Koslow, author of The Widow Waltz and Slouching Toward Adulthood
