- I had no idea Heartburn was based so heavily on Nora Ephron’s actual life, no wonder it felt so true and authentic!
- Imagine my disappointment when she mentioned what one of her favourite, more enrapturing books was, and it was a book I’d already read and *hated*, so upsetting, just when I though Nora and I had so much in common…
- Saying that, reading this felt like a catch-up with a messy and brilliant friend, I could easily read hundreds more pages of her experiences.
- The final essay about death and getting older was such a vulnerable and heartbreaking experience. I feel like I could learn a lot from her.

Witty and insightful- this is filled with quotes I want to highlight and annotate. I want to press this book into the hands of my friends and hear their thoughts. Can't wait to reread this

Not what I expected but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Irreverent, witty, honest and unapologetic.
