Description
Texting Olivia is a humorous and fast-paced epistolary novel that explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships through phone texts and calls. When Fay's husband and she embark on a trip to help their daughter move out of her dorm, they are met with frustration and disappointment at every turn. As the days pass, Fay is forced to confront her own parenting style and the ways in which it may be contributing to her daughter's selfishness and irresponsibility. Meanwhile, her husband's growing criticism of her parenting skills adds to her feelings of futility and failure. With each passing day, Fay must scrutinize the relationships in her life and the parts she plays. This thought-provoking novel is a witty and engaging exploration of the challenges of modern motherhood, and the difficult choices we must make as parents.
