...part Gossip Girl, part Dead Poets Society, and entirely addictive! A brilliant, satirical peek at the families of privilege behind the Ivy Curtain, this book made me laugh out loud. Kevin Kwan, New York Times bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogyIn the decades before she was able to tell her own story, Lacy Crawford (author of Notes on a Silencing) worked with high school seniors trying to learn to tell theirs in the 15 years she spent as a highly soughtafter private college counselor. The college essay could be a terribly nervewracking assignmentor, as Crawford saw it, an opportunity for a young person to set their sights on a future of their ownas Crawford illuminates in her debut novel Early Decision.Working oneonone with helicopter parents and burnedout kids, Anne the application whisperer can make Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford a realityassuming, of course, thats what a student wants. Early Decision follows five students over one autumn as Anne helps them craft their essays, cram for the SATs, and perfect the Common Application, though their larger task might be balancing their parents hopes against their own developing dreams.It seems their entire future is on the lineand it is. Though not because of the Ivy League. Its because the process, warped as it is by money, connections, competition, and parental mania, threatens to crush their independence just as adulthood begins.With wit and heart, Early Decision sends up the secrets of the college admissions race and celebrates the adolescents forced to run its gauntlet.I nearly cried with laughter over how true to my experience this book is. Lacy Crawford is spoton in her portrayal of the anxiety, hilarity, and pathos inherent to the college application process. Anonymous, SAT Tutor, Veritas
