Narrado por: Lisa Scottoline, Francesca Serritella

The unstoppable, irreverent mother-daughter team presents a new collection of funny stories and true confessions that every woman can relate to. From identity theft to the hazards of bicycling to college reunions and eating on the beach, Lisa and Francesca tackle the quirks, absurdities, and wonders of everyday life with wit and warmth. As Lisa says, "More and more, especially in the summertime when I'm sitting on the beach, I'm learning not to sweat it. To go back to the child that I used to be. To see myself through the loving eyes of my parents. To eat on the beach. And not to worry about whether every little thing makes me look fat. In fact, not to worry at all."

So put aside your worries and join Lisa and Francesca as they navigate their way through the crazy world we live in, laughing along the way.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Scottoline's Philly accent and expressive speaking style add to the humor of the stories. Serritella also sounds approachable as a young woman who is trying to navigate life, friendship, and love in the city. The stories - by and large light, easy, and fun - are perfect for a relaxed summer day." (AudioFile)

fun light listen

Enjoyed most of the stories. First book by this duo I have listened and I liked how personal it is.

Laughed All The Way Through!

They both brought such life to the narration. You could really tell how strong their feelings were about what they were relating to the listener.

No. I really wanted to savor the stories and wanted them to go on forever!

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to my friends. I just purchased the paperback for a friend who is having surgery. I know this will make her laugh while she is recovering!

pleasant little book

This was a nice little diversion book, not your great read but then that isnt what it set out to be either.

Easy read

One of those books you can read on a plane and if you fall asleep don't worry about going back just start where you finished. Easy to listen even funny sometimes but I won't buy it at full price or hardcover, not worse more than $5 and that what I paid for it. Too much crying about ex boyfriends, husbands and weight problems, made me yawn towards the middle. But again it might be just your piece of pie :)

Wonderful

Uplifting, humorous, relatable (as always). Great pick me up if you've had a hard day, week, month.
