About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lisa and Francesca are AMAZING writers and also incredible human beings. They are brutally, totally, admirably, lovingly honest. They both are hilarious and gifted comedians with excellent timing and charm. I have read EVERYTHING they ever wrote, and will love them forever! ?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another nice selection of vignettes from the lives of mother/daughter duo Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella. This is a great book to carry with you and check in with over the space of a couple months. I never want to see the end of these books come to an end. If I were more enterprising, I could probably check out an online version of their Chick Wit column every week. But I don't, preferring to wait for the cream of the crop. I enjoy hearing about their everyday lives, the dogs, Mother Mary. In fact, I hope when Mother Mary passes, they just don't tell me.
