We Regret to Inform You
We Regret to Inform You | A. E. Kaplan
10 posts | 7 read | 11 to read
When a high achiever is rejected by every Ivy League college--AND her safety school--her life is turned upside down. Becky Albertalli meets The Princeton Review in this witty, nerve-racking, and occasionally heartsick look at college admissions. Mischa Abramavicius is a walking, talking, top-scoring, perfectly well-rounded college application in human form. So when she's rejected not only by the Ivies, but her loathsome safety school, she is shocked and devastated. All the sacrifices her mother made to send her to prep school, the late nights cramming for tests, the blatantly rsum-padding extracurriculars (read: Students for Sober Driving) ... all that for nothing. As Mischa grapples with the prospect of an increasingly uncertain future, she questions how this could have happened in the first place. Is it possible that her transcript was hacked? With the help of her best friend and sometimes crush, Nate, and a group of eccentric techies known as "The Ophelia Syndicate," Mischa launches an investigation that will shake the quiet community of Blanchard Prep to its stately brick foundations. In her sophomore novel, A. E. Kaplan cranks the humor to full blast, and takes a serious look at the extreme pressure of college admissions.

Non-Fiction:When reading parts of the passage I was confused on exactly why someone would mess with her transcripts, until I realized it was because she was poor; they didn't do it out of revenge or hatred.

Fiction: I would say the main character taught me the most. She taught me that even when it seems like you're in over your head, their's always a way out.

😁Fiction: This book teaches you that life isn't always fair. It teaches it in a brutal way of a highschooler who ( we think) had her transcripts tampered with, so she wouldn't be accepted into any university of college.

Non-Fiction: No, not at all. The author rights it from a viewpoint of someone having their transcript messed with and with how anyone would react. It's doesn't have bias and is simply made for you to believe what you wish. 😁

Are there any connections between this book and your own life?
- Yes. I'm a person who cares very much about there grades and where there future will end up and from what I have read so far, the main character cares a lot about her grades and what colleges she will be accpeted into.

How do these connections help you understand the characters or the conflict?
- Because I feel the same way I can understand where she is coming from.
