I Was Told It Would Get Easier

Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings
A mother daughter story at the most pivotal moment of the relationship, the time where wings are growing and the bird is about to depart the nest. Jessica and Emily are mother daughter and they are going on an east coast swing of college campuses to find Emily's future, but she isn't sure if college is the future for her. At the same time, Jessica is also going through a crisis of sorts at her job fighting for the future of the young women at her law firm and her future and trying to decide what it will look like after motherhood takes a turn.
First, I am a fan of this moment in life. I think it is so interesting to dissect as parents and children are making a large transition and it is just difficult. I am so glad that Abbi Waxman allowed both Jessica and Emily the opportunity to narrate the book; switching from one to the other and seeing their inner thoughts compared and contrasted to the other was just genius. It made me laugh out loud a few times as it reminded me of the times where my mom and I have thought the same thing and only one of us said it and the other made very large gestures in agreement!
