Synopsis
For Manhattan's most affluent parents, the Tuesday after Labour Day marks the beginning of the city's most competitive and vicious blood sport: the start of the private school admissions process. But for Helen Drager, mother of Zoe, it shouldn't be such an ordeal. After all, Helen's best friend Sara is an admissions officer at Zoe's current K-8. But Sara's position becomes precarious, and Helen soon finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mounting lunacy generated by the fierce competition. Perhaps her husband, a television producer for the Cooking Network, can give the director of admission at their first-choice school her own cooking show? As the pressure mounts, will Zoe make the cut? Will her parents survive the process? Any can anyone stop the insanity?

Review
We love books like ADMISSIONS... Lieberman diligently explores every nook of nonsense surrounding the Kafkaesque private-school ordeal. Nothing escapes her.'- New York Times Book Review 'A laugh-out-loud debut...big fun.'- Kirkus Reviews ('Entertaining.'- The Wall Street Journal)
ADMISSIONS is fun-unless you're one of Nancy Lieberman's privileged, obsessive characters, who is so invested in where her child goes to school she'll stoop (but not necessarily shtup) to hilarious new lows. It's enough to get you packing for the suburb ('A zany ride through the daunting and at times ridiculous world of private school admissions in New York City.'- Willow Bay, author of Talking to Kids in Tough Times)
Book Description
In the spirit of The Nanny Diaries, this sharply-observed and bitingly funny novel exposes the over-the-top absurdity of New York City's elite private school admissions process.
