Disclaimer: I read this book months ago and with my review schedule packed, this was the first moment I had to review, so even though this isn't quite a January kind of book, it was perfect for a busy weekend in October!

I absolutely love these collections. I have quite a few more to go to get caught up, but they are perfect to pick up and put down during a crazy weekend or maybe a week at the beach (can we say that in January!). With the essays being quick and easy and self contained it is so good to read a few in a row and you can walk away and come right back and deep in for more.

There are quite a few of the essays that literally had me laughing out loud and during a car trip I may have gotten a few interesting looks from my husband! I tend to enjoy Francesca's stories a little more, but only because I am more in her age range, but Lisa's are equally funny and entertaining.

I love this mother/daughter duo and because I don't read their column, this is my chance to enjoy their stories and having them in a contained book is just great!
