Synopsis

From the bestselling mother/daughter writing duo comes another hilarious collection of essays about motherhood, daughterhood, womanhood, and "does this hood look good on me?"

Love and tomato sauce are thick in the Scottoline/Serritella household, and Lisa and Francesca's mother-daughter turned best-friends bond will strike a familiar note to many. But now that Lisa is a suburban empty-nester and Francesca is an independent twenty-something in the big city, they have to learn how to stay close while living apart. How does a mother's love translate across state lines and over any semblance of personal boundaries?

You'll laugh out loud as they face-off over the proper technique for packing dishes, the importance of bringing a coat in the summertime, and the dos and don'ts of dating at any age. Add feisty octogenarian Mother Mary to the mix, and you have a Molotov cocktail of estrogen, opinions, and fun.

Booklist raved that Best Friends, Occasional Enemies was "one big gabfest with your best girlfriends, whatever their age," and now, in Meet Me at the Emotional Baggage Claim, the mother-daughter duo of Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella continue the conversation with more hilarious and honest tales of life inside an ordinary, extraordinary family. These stories will make you laugh, cry, and call your mother, daughter, and all your girlfriends.

Goodreads review by Cammie on March 11, 2020

Lisa's and Francesca's memoir-esque essays are so fun! They feel like a group of friends sitting around with a bottle of wine and Italian food (of course!) talking about life and love (men and dating) and family (mothers and daughters) and pets and writing and just about everything in between. In so......more

I just love to read the books that Lisa Scottoline writes with her daughter. They are always funny, cheerful, and honest about life, growing older, and mother-daughter relationships. I find these books as sort of a vacation without leaving home.......more

Goodreads review by Emily on August 13, 2015

This book is charming and funny for the first several chapters. After a while, however, the forced humor of the two women becomes seriously overwrought and just plain annoying. Their stories are entertaining enough, but the voices of the two narrators are hyperactive. You can tell they're really, re......more
