The Gap Year

Parenting is an impossible task -- and then it gets worse when your offspring is a high school senior. The story is told from both the mother's and the daughter's perspectives, but at different points in time.  Cam’s sections take place during the August after Aubrey graduates high school (her pre-college summer), and Aubrey’s tell us about the fall of her senior year.  This works effectively to tell us the story of how the “gap year”–referring cleverly here to both taking a year off between high school and college, and to the year in which a gap widens between mother and daughter–came about. I enjoyed this book as I can relate with the mother and daughter and the challenges they face. gcld.opac.marmot.org/vufind/bookcover.php
