As a young girl, she ran wild through the streets of London, causing chaos and playing tricks on the ton with her best friend, Hamish. Now, as the secret accountant for her father’s company, she spends her days juggling ledgers and maintaining appearances. Her wild years are behind her. And she cannot afford a hint of scandal if she is to realise her dreams for the business. But what harm could there be in one tiny adventure? Just one evening of fun with her mischievous—and incredibly handsome—old friend. It’s not as if their friendship has turned into something more. Iris’s heart does not tremble with unsaid things when Hamish is around. And nothing will sway Hamish from his mission. Yes, Iris is now all grown up, with sensual curves, kissable lips, and the same twinkle in her eyes, but he does not think about her in that way. They’re just friends. Understand? Friends.

The book covers test schedules, reporting, fees, fee waivers, test cancellation procedures, information websites, admissions events, admissions statistics for 120 colleges in one spot (the publisher looked them up and calculated them so you don't have to). See about fine print admissions details, like the lowest test scores for admissions at a college. The Starter Guide to College for Clueless Students & Parents is a good value. It doesn't have to be read all at once, but can guide a student and the parents as time passes, even loaned to others.
