Admission

Jean Hanff Korelitz

A friend at work recommended this book for my book club, because she was reading it for hers and thought it was going to provide good discussion.  I will be honest, I am very interested to see what kind of discussion it sparks.  I can totally see the girls either loving or hating this book.  I thought it was a little hard to get through at times.  I think I enjoyed it, even though it felt like a really long book.  It raised really good thoughts about nature vs. nurture, privilege and want, and opened my eyes to a culture I rarely think about.  I must admit I am glad I didn't have dreams of going to an Ivy league school, clearly I am not Ivy material.  But, I sure am glad I was wildcat material.  :)  I was also intrigued by the adoption issues raised, although I don't think I wholly agree.  As I said, I am interested to see what discussions will come up and would love to have been there for my friend's book club as some of the ladies in her group have college age children.
