It's a Privilege Just to Be Here

Praise for It’s A Privilege Just To Be Here:
“Timely … Leaves the readers with much to chew on.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Emma Sasaki deftly lures readers with an insider exposé.”
—Shelf Awareness

“Bravo to Emma Sasaki for her sharp (and often stinging) tackling of inequality at prep schools, where overt racism by the very people trying to portray a diverse environment are exposed. An absorbing read that will have you wondering, am I as evolved as I think I am?”
—Lyn Liao Butler, Amazon bestselling author of Someone Else’s Life

“A clever, keenly observed portrait of politics, privilege, and polarization at an elite prep school, as well as a compelling tale about family secrets. This is a suspenseful debut from a writer who clearly knows the rarefied world of East Coast private schools very well.”
—Helen Wan, author of The Partner Track

“A sparkling debut that manages to crackle with both wit and warmth as it explores the fault lines that run through a small school community. As entertaining as it is thought-provoking, It’s A Privilege Just To Be Here is necessary reading.”
—Laurie Gelman, author of Class Mom
