[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought the book and read it in a couple of nights. It wasn't groundbreaking but was an entertaining and light summer read. The parents at the fictitious "Sidwell Friends" school in the novel sounded obnoxious so I can understand why some people on this thread are taking it personally. But reading this thread, several posters who are making snide comments about the author's kids going to Maret versus Sidwell (which she attended herself) are proving the author's point for her.

Sidwell Friends parents, based on what I've read recently about the parent community at your kids' school - harassing the college counseling team, making up rumors about other kids to help your kid get into college, causing 2/3 college team to resign at Sidwell, parents suing Sidwell because their kid didn't get acceptance into the college they wanted - and reading teh obnoxious comments on this thread from Sidwell parents who are doxxing the author who writes under a pen name and putting down another school (Maret) as a way to defend the school you pay tuition at (Sidwell) makes you look as terrible as in the book.

Your horrible comments makes the author's argument for her: you guys are absolutely  insufferable.[/quote]

When I read comments like this, the only thing I think is, “Y’all hate us, ‘cause you ain’t us!” If that makes me insufferable, so be it [shrug]. 
I’d pick Sidwell (again) over whatever school your child attends. [/quote]
