Admission by Julie BuxbaumMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chloe thought she had a perfect life. She is getting ready to go to college, she finally
has a boyfriend and her best friend is always there for her. But this perfect life comes crashing down
when she answers the door and the FBI is there to arrest her mother. Her mother is charged as part of a country-wide
college admissions scandal and Chloe might end up facing charges too. The public outcry is fierce and Chloe begins
to lose everything she thought was hers.
Why couldn’t her mom just accept that she wasn’t destined for big things? How much of the scandal was Chloe a part of?
Admission is a stand-alone novel that comes on the heels of
a real-life scandal that rocked the United States. Buxbaum takes a topic that we heard about in
the news and lets readers delve into the lives of the people who participated
in the deception. Although there is no
reason to ever cheat, this story does a good job of laying out the thoughts of
the participants before, during, and after the events. Admission is a good read that also will leave
the reader with points to think about later.
