Review by mattypallett - I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

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.
