3+. While I didn't like I Was Told It Would Get Easier as much as either The Bookish Life of Nina Hill or The Garden of Small Beginnings, it was entertaining enough. I don't regret having read it (I also didn't need to bail on it, as I did Waxman's Other People's Houses).

The story follows single mother-daughter duo Jessica and Emily Burnstein as they travel the tony university circuit by bus with a bunch of other privileged parent/child duos.
