Description
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.

Based on the 2019 college admissions scandal, Buxbaum’s ripped-from-the-headlines story gives readers a fictionalized peek into the families who saw no harm in helping their already advantaged children through bribery, cheating, and fraud. Daughter of a venture capitalist and a sitcom star, high school senior Chloe Berringer has enjoyed a relatively challenge-
free existence. Though Chloe is aware of her white privilege, she refuses to see others’ hardships, including those of her best friend, Shola, a Nigerian-American scholarship student at the girls’ private high school. Shola’s SAT scores are high enough for her to get into any U.S. college, but attending one depends entirely on scholarship funds, a concept that Chloe can’t wrap her head around. When her family is implicated at the center of an admissions scandal, Chloe finds her world tumbling down. Written in alternating chapters—“then” details the months leading up to the events, “now” portrays occurrences following her mother’s public arrest—the novel follows Chloe as she begins to understand her narrow worldview and possible complicity. Though Buxbaum (Hope and Other Punch Lines) is heavy-handed with the moral lessons, her assessment of the entitled 1% feels spot-on, making Shola’s earned success particularly satisfying. Ages 12–up. Agent: Jennifer Joel, ICM Partners.
