lindsaynixon 's review for:
I Was Told It Would Get Easier
by Abbi Waxman
The first chapter set me up for a plot I didn’t get but wanted (male partner tells female partner they can’t promote her mentee or any female partner bc of #metoo timing. SAY WHAT! I was ready to watch her whomp his ass in court over that!)
Instead I got a mother-daughter novel (both 45yo mom and 16yo daughter narrate). I liked how the author showed the different interpretations each person had about the same situation they were in. For example, mother leaves daughter alone in her room bc she feels her daughter finds her annoying and daughter feels mother values her work over her and doesn’t care.
I also found myself feeling nostalgic. I think most women who went to college would enjoy this easy read with some warm fuzzies.
SUMMARY: mother and daughter are on a tour of potential college campuses. They are also (unbeknownst to the other) having an internal struggle: mother is thinking about quitting her job and daughter isn’t sure she even wants to go to college. The book ends with mother and daughter understanding each other better and declaring their love while seeing the other is “human” and a “person”
I did the audio via audible. Made for an easy car ride listen!
