If Gilmore Girls was realistic, it would be this book! Great writing of a mother/daughter relationship.

Enjoyed this book quite a bit. Fast read and I loved that it told the story from the mother’s point of view & the daughter’s point of view. Recommend

This is the Abbi Waxman I love. She masters complex family relationships- I love how accurately she captures working mother & teenage daughter. Great quick read.

I took a bit to get to into it, but then it was just so good. So many sentences where I was like YES THAT IS IT EXACTLY. The premise was a bit silly but the characters are so fun and quirky and weird, and it was a great goofy parenting adventure.

A very fun, funny and cute mother/daughter college tour bonding trip read! Emily and Jessica were very entertaining to follow along to. I like how it was written as if the character was talking to you/reading their inner thoughts. The pacing overall was good and flowed pretty well.

It really felt that is was more miscommunication between them which made them feel like had their differences. I was happy to see by the end they were more open with each other.

Abbi Waxman is always a joy to read. This one will hit home with any parent who has ever had to begin the college search with their teenager. Why do we believe we know what's best?
