Perfect for fans ofย Whereโd You Go, Bernadetteย andย Small Admissions, a wry and cleverly observed debut novel about the privileged bubble that is Liston Heights Highโthe micro-managing parents, the overworked teachers, and the students caught in the middleโand the fallout for each of them when the bubble finally bursts. When a devoted teacher comes under pressure for her progressive curriculum and a helicopter mom goes viral on social media, two women at odds with each other find themselves in similar predicaments, having to battle back from certain social ruin. ย Isobel Johnson has spent her career in Liston Heights sidestepping the communityโs high-powered families. But when she receives a threatening voicemail accusing her of Anti-Americanism and a liberal agenda, sheโs in the spotlight. Meanwhile, Julia Abbott, obsessed with the casting of the schoolโs winter musical, makes an error in judgment that has far-reaching consequences for her entire family. ย Brought together by the sting of public humiliation, Isobel and Julia learn firsthand how entitlement and competition can go too far, thanks to a secret Facebook page created as an outlet for parent grievances. The Liston Heights High student body will need more than a strong sense of school spirit to move past these campus dramas in an engrossing debut novel that addresses parents behaving badly and teenagers speaking up, even against their own families.
