Reviews

Just short of one hundred of the most memorable observations from Ephron’s published work... A gateway drug... Even in excerpts of just a few sentences, her signature wit and wry, self-deprecating voice are on sparkling display... For those who miss Ephron’s voice: a sweet reminder. * Kirkus Reviews *
