Bestselling author Scottoline and up-and-comer Serritella are mother and daughter as well as BFFs—most of the time. In this third collection of essays based on their weekly “Chick Lit” column for the Philadelphia Inquirer, the duo chat about what it’s like to be a mother and daughter who share interests, clothes, and dating woes, plus the occasional dustup. However, Scottoline writes, conflict is good, because “that valve releases the pressure from the combustible engine that is the mother-daughter relationship.” She warns about being mindful of tone (aka “kryptonite”), and notes that apologies are vital, because “Families need each other. Like oxygen.” For her part, Serritella writes of the warmth of having family and friends who refrain from I-told-you-sos after an ill-advised romance and a mother who taught her about keeping the heating bills low... even if it means a cold apartment. Other essays address everything from the hazards of suburbia to the death of a beloved dog Mother Mary and Brother Frank are back, too, in this witty and sweet return to the ins and outs of life in this sometimes kooky, always smart and funny, family.

Authors Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella again demonstrate their talents as comedic narrators with the delivery of this collection of essays that explore the lighter side of mothers and daughters. Lisa's slightly scratchy, distinctively accented voice, with its hint of barely suppressed laughter, is the perfect vehicle for her droll observations on her overlapping roles as child and parent. Francesca's younger, smoother tones manage to convey both an eye-rolling tolerance of the older generation and the genuine affection and respect of a devoted daughter. Neither woman takes herself too seriously in either the writing or the narration of this wry look at life. The warmth and humor that underscore the presentation show they had fun with this, and so will the listener. M.O.B. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
