If you’re looking for a lively romp about the antics of snotty prep school kids, this is NOT it. Instead, this is a looooong “fish out of water” tale told like we’re reading the fish’s extremely verbose diaries. I’m a fan of Sittenfeld or I’d never have persevered to make it through this one.

ALSO, I do not understand how people who read books for a living can say ‘ofTen’ and get away with it.
