I Was Told It Would Get Easier by Abbi Waxman

"She made some friends. She had an adventure, and I feel like maybe I didn't ruin her life by working all the time which is a relief. Maybe not ideal parenting but you know what?... there is no such thing... We're all doing the best we can. For ourselves, for our kids, the whole shebang."

I'm often worried for second novels following beloved debuts (loved Nina!), but this one was simply perfect. Parents and children are always learning and adapting and this duo gave me all the feels plus I really wish I had Jessica's workplace backbone. #goals
