I really enjoyed this book - the second one by this author that I’ve read and really liked. It doesn’t have the predictable story - and is a great description of both the teenage daughter and mother point of view. From my perspective at least having been both. :-)

emotional
tense
fast-paced

Very engaging, definitely had some twists. Just didn't love the characters as much as I wanted to.
Mom and daughter relationships are never simple, especially during the teenage years. This was a nice story about a mom and daughter on a college tour that includes a wide range of issues that moms and daughters encounter.

Jessica (mom) and Emily (daughter) go on a week-long trip touring East Coast colleges with other students and parents.
I loved 85% of this book. It is told from Jessica's and Emily's perspectives and often they are thinking the exact same thing. However, the ending felt super rushed and left a few plot holes which was slightly frustrating. There were also some side characters that had no bearing on the main plot nor added anything to the story overall so it seemed pointless to read about them. Other than that, it's a easy read which is what I was looking for after reading quite a few heavy books recently.
