Why My Third Husband Will be a Dog

Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog
by Lisa Scottoline

I had never read one of Lisa Scottoline's novels, but this book's cute cover and humorous title caught my attention. Let me assure you this is not a husband-bashing book. (Even though she does refer to her exes as Thing 1 and Thing 2) The book is a collection of essays excerpted from Lisa's "Philadelphia Inquirer" columns. Many of the chapters are laugh-out-loud funny. She writes about motherhood, love, men, and Spanx. Yes, Spanx. Her take on these undergarments is hilarious. ("Like slipping into a tourniquet")

This book is full of wisdom, quirkiness, and down-to-earth anecdotes of the trials of everyday life. A really fun read.
