Prep by Curtis Stittenfeld

This is not a book for grown ups.
I was disappointed by this book. From the great reviews, I was expecting something better. When I finished it, the first thought I had was "My god, was I that self-absorbed back in high school?" The sad truth is, I was. There isn't anything redeeming enough about this book to get past the adolescent navel gazing of the main character.

I think Sittenfeld has great potential as a writer, though. I hope her next book is for grown-ups.
