“It's good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer. She's headed off to the college of her dreams. She's going to prom with the boy she's had a crush on since middle school. Her best friend always has her back, and her mom, a B-list Hollywood celebrity, may finally be on her way to the B+ list. It's good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer--at least, it was, until the FBI came knocking on her front door, guns at the ready, and her future went up in smoke. Now her mother is under arrest in a massive college admissions bribery scandal. Chloe, too, might be facing charges, and even time behind bars. The public is furious, the press is rabid, and the US attorney is out for blood.
As she loses everything she's long taken for granted, Chloe must reckon not only with the truth of what happened, but also with the examination of her own guilt. Why did her parents think the only way for her to succeed was to cheat for her? What did she know, and when did she know it? And perhaps most importantly, what does it mean to be complicit?” - taken from Goodreads.com
This story is based loosely upon the real-life Varsity Blues college admission scandal. Chloe, the daughter of a famous actress, is struggling to bring up her poor SAT score. She isn't a great student like her brainy younger sister, Isla. Told between then, leading up to, and now, after her mother's arrest, readers will follow along on Chloe's journey to discover what she knew, suspected, or was utterly blindsided with. A compelling story about Chloe's journey to adulthood.
