Sheâs such a brilliant writer, I laughed out loud multiple times. I love this collection of essays. However, there is some pretty intense fatphobia and some insensitive statements (like referring to âAfricaâ repeatedly as if itâs a country) that a privileged white lady in 2006 would make. I was surprised that, in this series mining her life for comedy and insight, she never acknowledges the weirdness that her family had a cook growing up. But itâs a fascinating look into a celebrated writerâs life and I would definitely recommend it, especially to other writers!Â

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 for every woman, shows a level of rich, white privilege but it is memoirish so itâs about her own problems but not always relatable. Not the type of feminist centered writing I expected but instead looked at the more mundane âissuesâ Ephron reflected on like how she âhad to get her hair and nails done twice a week to feel good.â
Despite the above, it was nice to have a lighter, funny approach to the ideas of womanhood compared to the serious often dark tragedies that comes with being a woman.
Short quick read and quite enjoyable despite some moments of privilege and fatphobia.
