It’s good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer. She’s headed off to the college of her dreams. She’s going to prom with with the boy she’s had a crush on since middle school. Her best friend always has her back, and her mom, a B-list celebrity, may finally be on her way to the B+ list.
It’s good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer— at least, it was, until the FBI came knocking on her front door, guns at the ready, and her future went up in smoke.
Now her mother is under arrest in a massive college admissions bribery scandal. Chloe, too, might be facing charges, and even time behind bars. The public is furious, the press is rabid, and the US attorney is out for blood.
Chloe must reckon not only with the truth of what happened, but also with the examination of her own guilt. Why did her parents think the only way for her to succeed was to cheat for her? What did she know, and when did she know it? What does it mean to be complicit?
Admission is an incisive, of-the-moment novel that peeks inside the private lives of the hypercompetitive and the hyperprivileged and takes on the scandal that recked the country.
