Everyone's favorite mother-daughter writing duo is back with a new collection of warm and witty stories, Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella's Have a Nice Guilt Trip! This series is among the best reviewed humor books published today and has been compared to the late greats, Erma Bombeck and Nora Ephron. Booklist raved of the third book in the series, Meet Me At Emotional Baggage Claim, "readers can count on an ab-toning laugh session, a silly giggle, a sympathetic sigh, and a lump in the throat as life's moments are rehashed through the keen eyes and wits of this lovable mother-daughter duo." This volume, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, maintains the same sterling standard of humor and poignancy as Lisa and Francesca continue on the road of life acquiring men and puppies. Ok, to be honest, Lisa is acquiring the puppies, while Francesca is lucky enough to have dates with actual men. They leave it to the listeners to decide which is more desirable and/or or easier to train.

“Popular mystery writer Scottoline
and her Philadelphia Inquirer columnist daughter Serritella team up for the
fourth time to offer a lively collection of eighty short essays on everything
from raising puppies to the proper way to make eggplant parm. Though Scottoline
penned the majority of the essays in this volume, twenty-seven-year-old
Serritella’s contributions display her own brand of humor and sweetness.
Scottoline—prone to comedic one-liners—makes the pages fly by in a flurry of
laughs. Serritella’s ode to her ninety-year-old grandmother (affectionately
referred to as Mother Mary) and her writings about her dog Pip are especially
endearing. Scottoline is on-target and hilarious, whether she’s writing about
politics (her piece on Anthony Weiner is a standout), ex-husbands (‘Thing One
and Thing Two’), or what it’s like to sleep with five dogs. While Serritella
deals with dating, rollerblading, and Facebook, Scottoline, whose ‘butt is already
on social security,’ considers joining AARP. Their close-knit, outspoken
Italian family is also the subject of a number of laugh-inducing selections.”
