This book sat on my shelf for quite awhile before I decided to read it. I'm now wishing that I would have picked it up a long time ago. It was so very, very good! A very well-rounded book with something for everyone.

Great characters, it was funny, it was sad, it had romance and death. It had some shocking things ... it's amazing the lengths the parents went to get their kids into a "top-tier" private school. No matter how crazy the parents Quinn made it all believable, which could be because I've heard that NYC is cut-throat when it comes to gaining admission to exclusive private schools.
