I Was Told It Would Get Easier by Abbi Waxman

"Abbi Waxman is both irreverent and thoughtful."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin

Squashed among a bus full of strangers, mother-daughter duo Jessica and Emily Burnstein watch their carefully mapped-out college tour devolve into a series of off-roading misadventures, from the USA Today bestselling author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill.

Jessica and Emily Burnstein have very different ideas of how this college tour should go.

For Emily, it's a preview of freedom, exploring the possibility of her new and more exciting future. Not that she's sure she even wants to go to college, but let's ignore that for now. And maybe the other kids on the tour will like her more than the ones at school. . . . They have to, right?

For Jessica, it's a chance to bond with the daughter she seems to have lost. They used to be so close, but then Goldfish crackers and Play-Doh were no longer enough of a draw. She isn't even sure if Emily likes her anymore. To be honest, Jessica isn't sure she likes herself.

Together with a dozen strangers--and two familiar enemies--Jessica and Emily travel the East Coast, meeting up with family and old friends along the way. Surprises and secrets threaten their relationship and, in the end, change it forever.

Abbi Waxman, author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, Other People's Homes, and The Garden of Little Beginnings, is a chocolate-loving, dog-loving woman who lives in Los Angeles and tries to sleep as much as possible. She learned to write fiction while working in advertising for many years. She is the mother of three girls, three dogs, and three cats, as well as a patient husband.
