Small Admissions by Amy Poeppel

I have just a little time to write a short, not-in-depth review right now, but I really liked this audiobook. It was an almost-perfect quick read, almost chick lit but not super romance-y, and gave a great look into this world of NYC private school admissions (which I know nothing about).

Kate is recovering from a terrible break-up and she spends almost a year doing nothing but sitting on the couch, until she almost accidentally gets a job as an assistant of admissions at a prestigious private school in New York. She doesn't have any idea what she's doing, but she gets involved with the students and learns a lot about herself and her true desires, and finds out what sorts of things she wants for herself. The cast of supporting characters in this book were funny and fun as well, and I really liked seeing all of them develop over the year this book lasted. Some of the issues between Kate and her friends seemed a little contrived (why would anyone continue to make such issues about things like that?) but it was a very fun and believable book and I really liked all of these characters. I wouldn't say this was great literature but it wasn't super fluffy either--it was definitely a good balance.
