The Admissions: A Novel, by Meg Mitchell MooreRead about the other books on the list.
The Admissions proves that no cookie-cutter family is as perfect as they seem. With great jobs, pristine houses, and charming children, the Hawthorne family appears to have it all. But after the family makes a few ill-advised moves (and the pressure of their high-school daughter applying to Harvard sets in) their suburban scandals and risky secrets become revealed.
Why we love it: Meg Mitchell Moore has incredible character insight.
