So far, this is probably my least favourite of Nora Ephron's books. There was an overwhelming feeling of dread that encapsulated each essay in a way I wasn't expecting. That being said, it was still well written and entertaining. Unlike, "I Feel Bad About My Neck", this book has an overarching theme of memories. Each essay deals with memories in a different way, whether it is forgetting or remembering.
Hopefully the next Nora Ephron I read leaves a better impression.

Enjoyable and quick read, though there isn't much of an arc to it--the book is essentially a slapdash combination of essays about getting older, especially if you're the woman who created When Harry Met Sally and are getting older. In short, it's topical, anecdotal. I love Ephron's voice, but I would have liked for it to carry a little more substance.

This was an autobiography about a "well known" journalist. Self indulgent and non-reflective. I don't recommend it.
