Nora Ephron was a writer who was beloved by many for her insight, wit and warmth. The world lost a person with a unique point of view when she died.
Here is a chance for those who read her works (and those new to her) to get bite sized pieces of her wisdom. Find what you are looking for within these topics: Reading and Writing; Parents and Children; Marriage and Divorce; New York City; Food; Style, Beauty and Getting Older; and, How to Live, Love, and, When Necessary Get Over It.
This is a book to dip in and out of. It is nicely laid out and has appealing illustrations. It would make a great gift for someone (or one’s self).
Many thanks to Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage & Anchor along with NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Description:
From “the queen of quips” (The New York Times) comes an inspiring and hilarious quote collection about everything that matters—love and heartbreak, good food and good company, aging well and writing well
We all want a best friend like Nora Ephron: frank but forgiving, wry but caring, someone who knows not only what to say but how to say it.
Don’t know what to wear? “Everything matches black, especially black.”
Trouble in love? “You can never know the truth of anyone’s marriage, including your own.”
Searching for a new belief system? “My religion is Get Over It.”
Here is the best of Nora for every season of life, across her storied career, from her early days in the news media to becoming the author of a cult classic novel, to her unexpected turn as a legendary Hollywood writer. Nora saw it all, and with a wicked sense of humor and shrewd intellect, she made it all deliciously funny. Filled with unforgettable lines, this is a celebration of Nora’s singular wit and generosity—start at the beginning, or flip to any page for instant delight.
