Goodreads:
In Best Friends, Occasional Enemies, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline and her daughter, Francesca Serritella, are the best of friends—99.9% of the time. They’re number one on each other’s speed dial and they tell each other everything—well, almost everything. They share shoes and clothes—except one very special green jacket, which almost caused a catfight.In other words, they’re just like every mother and daughter in the world. Best friends and occasional enemies. Now they’re dishing about it all: their lives, their relationship, and their carb count.
Lisa on Being a Mom: Motherhood has no expiration date. Francesca lives in the city, and I worry about her all the time. My daughter moved out, so why am I still lactating?
Francesca on Being a Daughter: My mother is always right. Just ask her.
Ope’s Opinion: I did enjoy Lisa’s and Francessca’s sense of humor. Mothers and daughters writing style are very similar. I have two daughters and I am about Lisa’s age, so I could really relate to her. There are some things that are universal to certain ages!
I have enjoyed so many of Lisa Scottoline’s books, it was nice to hear about her life with her mother and daughter. It was interesting to hear her daughters perspective too. It made me wonder about my daughters perspective on things I have done or said.
I am more a fiction reader, but this was a nice change of reading.
Rating: Three Chairs – I like the book enough to suggest it to a friend two.
