mikes_ 's review for:
This is a witty, insightful, and heartfelt collection of personal essays. Reading this felt like talking to your grandmother, whom you haven't seen in a while, and delighting in her charm and wisdom that she's trying to pass down on you. I always enjoy reading about people's experiences, and this felt like someone who has lived their whole life leaving you with fun notes and takes on things. With that, thank you, Nora! I think I have an overdue rewatch of When Harry Met Sally.

βIt's much easier to get over someone if you can delude yourself into thinking you never really cared that much.β
βOh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're thirty-four.β
βReading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.β
βOh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're thirty-four.β
βNever marry a man you wouldnβt want to be divorced from.β
