Cute mother-daughter story.

Abbi Waxman is quickly becoming one of my very favorite contemporary fiction authors. Her writing is the perfect mix of being entertaining and also relatable and emotional.

It was so enjoyable and relatable to see Jessica and Emily learn more about themselves and one another along their journey together. The alternating POVs which shared the differing mother-daughter perspectives and added so much to the storyline. With wonderful punches of humor, Waxman simultaneously explored the complexities of parent/teenager relationships in our contemporary world.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Touring colleges with your teenage daughter is a memorable experience. Doing it during a pandemic, when you can’t actually tour the colleges proves even more challenging. Thanks, Jeff for this timely read as Nota prepares to make her college decision!!
