While a good amount of this book focused on Josie's job as a director of admissions at a private school in San Francisco, at its heart, it also dealt with an aging parental figure and a daughter getting ready to leave for college (so yeah all the emotions).

The parents that were applying their rising kindergarteners were really quite ridiculous and over entitled but the best part was Josie's responses to their emails, ultimately she deleted them but humorous none the less. If you've read Class Mom by Laurie Gelman you'll get a similar vibe from Josie.

I really enjoyed this debut novel and after reading the Q&A with the authors, I'm really hoping for more from Josie, Aunt Viv, Etta, Lola and Ty (aka Golden Boy)!
