I really liked this. It was funny and I could relate to the situations and things they both said. I found parts of it wasn’t interesting and that’s why it was a 3* I will read the others in the series and I look forward to them.

Thanks goes to the publishers and net galley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was awesome! The honest, witty stories draw you into their world and are easy to relate to on many levels. These two can tell a story and leave me wanting more

isa and Francesca are back with another great collection of humorous real life essays. As a mother-daughter, best friend duo, I could easily relate to all of these stories as my mother is one of my best friends. However, I think almost anyone could find something to relate to here. My personal favorite was Lisa's piece on how she finds the 70MPH speed limit on the PA Turnpike absolutely terrifying. I know that white knuckle grip on the steering wheel all to well from visiting friends in PA. Lisa's take on that popular twisty fitness board also made me snort with laughter as mine is currently parked under a lounge chair in my living room. Fortunately no one will experience any buyers remorse from purchasing "I Need a Lifeguard Everywhere but the Pool." Pick up a copy at your local bookstore or favorite online retailer.

Lisa and Francesca are back with another collection of warm and witty stories that will strike a chord with every woman. This six book series is among the best reviewed humor books published today and has been compared to the late greats, Erma Bombeck and Nora Ephron. Delia Ephron said of the fifth book in the series, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, "Lisa and Francesca, mother and daughter, bring you the laughter of their lives once again and better than ever. You will identify with these tales of guilt and fall in love with them and fierce (grand) Mother Mary." This seventh volume will not disappoint as it hits the humorous and poignant note that fans have come to expect from the beloved mother-daughter duo.

Been a fan of Scottoline's legal thrillers for quite a while. When I read that she had teamed up with her daughter to write a series of light-hearted non-fiction books, I was sceptical. It took a number of these books to be released before I took the plunge.

And it was okay...

A series of vignettes (usually around 4-5 pages in length) about whatever topic springs to mind - relationships, friends, driving, pets - that are less profound than the authors seem to think they are. There was one deeply personal story about Francesca being mugged, but otherwise these stories are fluffy and easy to read.

Certainly wouldn't recommend reading it in one sitting - it does get a bit repetitive. Perfect to read a few chapters at a time between full-length books...

Mother/daughter collaboration.
Light hearted summer read.

This was my first book by Lisa and it will not be my last. This by far has got to to be the funniest book I have gotten a hold of in a very long time. I devoured it in one afternoon.
The tales that Lisa and Francesca talk about had me laughing out loud with family members wondering if they could get in on the action. I loved this book.
I have already requested the 6 books that have come before.

My thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
