I Was Told It Would Get Easier

As a mom who recently did the college tours, I can attest that the book rings true. It just needed a little more conflict and character development (for example, two people are planning a business, but we don't learn about that until the end). If the tour leader had been known to the students, the intrigue could have been better. I applaud the author for experimenting with a very non-formulaic plot, but I needed a stronger central question with which to grapple.
