Abbi Waxman can do no wrong, I swear.

I listened to the audiobook for this title, and I firstly just want to say that I DO recommend it. The narrator was excellent and I enjoyed the back-and-forth of Jessica and Emily in this format.

After reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill earlier this year, I knew I wanted to gobble up anything Waxman wrote - and I was super excited when I found out she was releasing this book. Each scenario in this college road trip story is told from both the perspectives of successful lawyer and mom, Jessica, as well as sixteen-year-old Emily (who is totally hiding a secret).

The banter reminded me of my mom and myself when I was sixteen, and it made me really nostalgic. I think that a lot of women would be able to relate to this story, either for the mom's perspective or the daughter's.

There's some serious girl power in this book, and I appreciated the approach Jessica took to her long-time company when her higher-ups weren't being fair to women in the workplace. I also loved the way that Emily - though struggling through some insecurities - had interests that weren't the "typical" for a teenage girl. It felt much more realistic and I loved every second of it!

I can only recommend this book because there was nothing about it that I could even remotely say that I disliked. It was fantastic from beginning to end.
