Lie. Cheat. Bribe. How far would you go to get into your dream school?
How far would your parents go? Inspired by the recent college
admissions scandal, this ripped-from-the-headlines YA novel by the New
York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things sees one
teenage girl's privileged world shatter when her family's lies are
exposed.
It's good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer--she has it all--money, privilege,
and a ticket to the college of her dreams. Or at least she did until the
FBI came knocking on her front door, guns at the ready, and her future
went up in smoke. Now her B list celebrity mother is under arrest in a
massive college admissions bribery scandal, and Chloe might be the next
one facing charges. The public is furious, the headlines are brutal, and
the US attorney is out for blood.
As everything she's taken for granted starts to slip away, Chloe must
reckon not only with the truth of what happened, but also with the
examination of her own guilt. How much did she really know-or guess? Why
did her parents think the only way for her to succeed was to cheat? And
what does it really mean to be complicit?
Bestselling author Julie Buxbaum takes on the college admissions bribery
scandal that rocked the country in this timely tale of the hyper elite
and the hyper competitive, and the lengths they go to stay at the top.
