WHY MY THIRD HUSBAND WILL BE A DOG

This is a collection of essays by Lisa Scottoline. Lisa has been a favorite author of mine for a long time and I was surprised to learn that she writes a column for a Philidelphia paper, too. In her essays, Lisa is very funny. She describes her life as a middle-aged writer whose only child has graduated from college and is starting to make her way in the world. She tells hilarious stories about her elderly Mother Mary who is very frail but very spunky. She tells stories of her pets and her old home. All in all, she gives a well-rounded picture of her life and I ended up liking the author even more.
