 From her site: QUOTE My new novel, Crunch Time, is the story of four kids who take the SATs. I wrote it partly because I still have nightmares about taking the SATs, but mainly because the issue of competition fascinates me. We judge and are judged all the time, as we try to figure out where we rank in the hierarchy. I am smarter than so and so, not as smart as so and so. More attractive, less successful, funnier, not as rich. The SATs actually give you a number; are you a 1800 or 2400? Does it matter? That's what the four kids of Crunch Time have to decide. I'm reading it. Really good. I think she's real talented for making a four-person perspective book. Original. Doesn't keep you bored, either.  Has anybody heard of it? Read it? Thoughts? Opinions?  |

Did you finish it yet? |

I love that cover! It looks like the kind of book I'd randomly buy at Barnes and Noble because I love the cover so much.
