Meet Me at Emotional Baggage Claim

Another nice selection of vignettes from the lives of mother/daughter duo Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella. This is a great book to carry with you and check in with over the space of a couple months. I never want to see the end of these books come to an end. If I were more enterprising, I could probably check out an online version of their Chick Wit column every week. But I don't, preferring to wait for the cream of the crop. I enjoy hearing about their everyday lives, the dogs, Mother Mary. In fact, I hope when Mother Mary passes, they just don't tell me.

I have found that I cannot resist these books. I think it is because I can relate to their mother-daughter relationship and the goofy banter throughout the book. Plus they are a fun, quick read. I find myself tearing up in spots (I can't deny that PMS isn't involved) and then laughing out loud in others. Lisa Scottoline and her daughter say the things I think and feel but don't write down. I love that they can find humor in mundane life events. I appreciate that the witticism comes effortlessly and without anger. There are other writers who poke fun at everyday events but they come across angry in their banter. I don't get that from these authors...even when they are talking about ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends. I think I can learn show more something from that example. You can acknowledge your past and poke fun at it instead of be angry and vindictive. I cannot wait for the next book from these two women. show less

Funny, witty and insightful. Lisa and her daughter Francesva tackle some of life's challenges with grace and humour. I did grow tired of her talking about her former husbands. Best read in small doses.
