An amusing, funny, heartfelt, heartwarming, and heartbreaking read about affairs, marriages, relationships, friendships, food and life in general. Could have done without certain comments that are very out dated but I guess it was written in 1983. Much better than the film I’d say, and I enjoyed the film, I just found the film lacked Ephron’s humour which carries throughout the book.
