The bestselling
and “perennially hilarious” mother-daughter team is back with a new collection
of stories from their real lives, guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. Join
Lisa and Francesca as they regret drunk-shopping online, try smell-dating, and
explore the freedom of a hiatus from men - a Guyatus. They offer a fresh and
funny take on the triumphs and facepalm moments of modern life, showing that
when it comes to navigating the crazy world we live in, you’re always your own
best lifeguard.
My Thoughts…
I am not a short story collection fan. I like a storyline, a set of characters, and
an ending. I Need a Lifeguard
Everywhere But the Pool changed my mind on everything I thought I needed. I read this on a plane and caught myself
laughing out loud, smiling, and cringing at the stories. They are told in separate chapters by both
Lisa and Francesca.
There were numerous times that I could relate to what
was happening in their lives. The
reactions to different events were so real that I could see myself in their
stories. I found it fun to get a
glimpse into the author’s lives and see that they are normal, real, everyday
people. The situations they find
themselves in are the same as their readers.
Reading I Need a Lifeguard Everywhere But the Pool
made both Lisa and Francesca seem more like my friends. I believe both these amazing ladies would
fit in perfectly with my friends and family.
Thank you Jordan
Hanley at St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest
review.
