About the Book
Audrey Thorpe’s dirty little
secret will soon be the downfall of everyone and everything she holds dear:
love, family, friends, and her high school alma mater.
It’s your child’s senior year. A private prep school’s
reputation is at stake. A math teacher refuses to grade his final exams on a
curve. Students have only one more shot at the SAT before college applications
are due. And a few desperate parents have much more money than brains.
In Extracurricular, new lust, old loves, a dark family
secret, and rich crazy parents behaving badly lead to a college admissions
cheating scandal, setting off a crisis of conscience for the parents, teachers,
administrator, and the students involved —
And a catharsis for one couple about their marriage.
My Review
Ah … I really thought this one was going to be for me. I’ve read Josie Brown and I’m a big fan of her novels, but I had a tough time with book one in the Extracurricular series. It started off really strong for me – I thought it was going to be a very timely story of college admissions scandals and I was curious to see how the plot lines would play out, but then it veered in a different direction that I had a hard time following. I do understand that this is a three part series and books one and two would be cliffhangers leading us to the third book, but … I had a tough time staying interested. I did read until the end because I was hoping things might turn around for me and the cliffhanger was interesting, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to stay invested.
