"I've Got Sand In All the Wrong Places" review

“I’ve Got Sand In All the Wrong Places”

Finished 6/22/16 – 5/5 stars

Have you ever read a Lisa Scottoline novel?  If not, you need to.  I admit, I haven’t ventured into her two fictional series but I have read just about all of her stand alone fictional books and LOVE them.  This is not one of those books though.  This is a book from her non-fiction series that she has written with her daughter.  They are just as wonderful but completely different than what she normally writes.  They are a compilation of stories from their own personal lives, the majority of which are quite humorous with others that will warm your heart (and still make you laugh a little).  You know how you need a light read after finishing a book with a very heavy and/or depressing topic (i.e. – the holocaust)?  This is the perfect next book to read.  Or if life is just too stressful and chaotic so you need a book that is easy to pick up but then put right back down after a very short period of a time?  This is the book to read – the stories are short so you have lots of stopping points, if needed.  They are also great to listen to in your car while sitting in traffic.  And if you do choose the audio book route, they narrate the books themselves!  I highly recommend listening to your first one and then as you read the others on your own, their voices and personalities shine through even more.  Or you can just listen to all of them J   Either way, I highly recommend this book along with the others.  I just know you will enjoy them.

Thank you very much to Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an advanced copy of the book in return for an honest review.
