Julie Buxbaum, ADMISSION

Julie Buxbaum became so obsessed with the 2019 college admissions scandal that she was inspired to write Admission. Zibby loved talking about Julie's compelling characters, what it must feel like to be a teeager at the center of a huge media fallout, what achievement means, what success costs, and ethical parenting.
