I Was Told It Would Get Easier
by Abbi Waxman
3.75 stars
If you take the concept of Gilmore Girls and add a little Lori Loughlin scandal, you get this. The book rotates mother and teenage daughter perspectives. I thought the author did pretty well on the teenage daughter perspective, so much so that I was convinced she had recently emerged from parenting her own teen.
The money part I questioned a bit. The mother is a high-powered attorney. The daughter has been going to a very exclusive LA private school, and now she's looking at colleges. The mom is obsessing about the cost of college. Hmmm, if you can afford an exclusive LA private school, I don't think college will be a big change in cost. In some ways I think the book would have been better had the daughter been going to public school and not some super fancy rich school. And I think going to an exclusive school would have impacted the daughter's perspective in the book. Basically, you couldn't tell that she went there from her perspective, only the mom's. It felt a bit off in that respect, but I really enjoyed this one.
