In this witty, hilarious, and entertaining novel thatâ€™s â€œThe Devil Wears Prada meets Primates of Park Avenueâ€ (The New York Times), a young woman is unexpectedly thrust into the cutthroat world of New York City private school admissions.

Despite her innate ambition and summa cum laude smarts, Kate Pearson has turned into a major slacker. After being unceremoniously dumped by her handsome â€œalmost fiancÃ©,â€ she abandons her plans and instead spends her days lolling on the couch, watching reruns of Sex and the City. Her friends donâ€™t know what to do other than pass tissues and hope for a comeback, while her practical sister, Angela, pushes every remedy she can think of, from trapeze class to therapy to job interviews.

Miraculously, Kate manages to land a job in the admissions department at the revered Hudson Day School. In her new position Kate learns thereâ€™s no time for self-pity or nonsense during the thick of the admissions season, or what her colleagues refer to as â€œthe dark time.â€ As the process revs up, Kate meets smart kids who are unlikable, likeable kids who arenâ€™t very smart, and Park Avenue parents who refuse to take no for an answer. Through a comical and crazy run of wildly unpredictable interviews, subtle bribes, outright threats, final judgments, and page-turning twists, the highly competitive and occasionally absurd world of private school admissions is brought to light in all of its outrageous glory that is reminiscent of Curtis Sittenfeldâ€™s Prep.
