A funny collection of she said/she said stories between mothers and daughters.
I loved the different perspectives of the same event - literally laughed out loud a few times.

The scripture references at the end of each story was a little odd, kind of jarring to me. I wasn't expecting it and it kind of took me out of the humour.

If you are a mother or have a mother, there is something in this book that will resonate with you. It's not going to resolve all conflicts, mend all broken relationships or fix all communication problems. It will give a little insight into better ways of handling some of the common areas of stress in the mother/daughter dynamic. The Scripture sited would be applicable to getting along with others in any context.
