Really 3 1/2 stars

I would probably have enjoyed these essays more as weekly columns, which I think is their origin. Taken together, though, the puns and the one-liners made me tired.

I think I laughed 2-3 times over the course of the whole book. It wasn't bad or hard to read, it just wasn't really funny or engaging.
lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

Not my kind of book. It's the kind of book that make you feel like it's trying too hard. The jokes are stale and old on a topic that could be moving and real. It makes me sad that this isn't a better book. I want it to be, but it isn't.

some of this is all too true.....

After hearing Lisa live, the book seemed too polished!
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Love her columns

I can't seem to get enough of Scottoline's humor. Any book that I'm actually smiling while reading is a delight for me.
