Best Friends, Occasional Enemies: The Lighter Side of Life as a Mother and Daughter

Author(s): Lisa Scottoline

Biography & Memoir | Mother/Daughter | Humour

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.
