Wildly funny
Joanna Trollope
An uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are
The New York Times
What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it should be so grim
Sunday Times
Few will troll these droll selections without being charmed to bits... Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother's Day that wasn't yet one more box of chocolate? Remember this book. You'll thank me. It's perfect
Lionel Shriver, Guardian
Nobody does it funnier
Maureen Lipman
One of the smartest, slickest looks at being a woman growing older... a bit like having your own clever film narrator's voice accompanying you through the sticky bits of life: the grief of a sagging neck, the joy of a good handbag, the unremitting loss of a best friend and the effort of facing up to no longer being 50
Good Housekeeping
Lots of good jokes, and a wonderfully amusing read
Virginia Ironside
Had me in complete fits of laughter
Judy Astley
Laugh-out-loud
Glamour
Wry and amusing... brave and funny
Washington Post
The key to Ephron's humour is likeability... she knows that the point of writing personal essays is to make readers say not "This woman is crazy" but "So you feel like that too, huh?"
The Oldie
The book that most influenced me... It triggered me to write my own book, and ask myself questions about who I was, what kind of woman I am and how the world had shaped me.
LILY ALLEN, Guardian
So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don’t know how she did it.
PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE, Vogue
Few will troll these droll selections without being charmed to bits . . . Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother's Day that wasn't yet one more box of chocolate? Remember this book. You'll thank me. It's perfect.
Lionel Shriver, Guardian
Laugh-out-loud.

Judy Astley
Wry and amusing...brave and funny.
Washington Post
Executed with overall sharpness and panache...[Nora Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are.
New York Times
Wickedly witty and astute...reflecting the perspective of an aging- but still crackling sharp - cultural scribe.
Boston Globe
A barrage of shareable anecdotes, humorous self-deprecation and womanly bravado...[a] gatherum of hard and funny truths.
New York Times Book Review
As funny and poignant as ever.
Ms
Use this wryly romantic book as a guide to musing about mortality, or just curling up in your empty nest.
O: Oprah Magazine
Wildly funny and, altough extremely accurate (at least for most of us), not remotely depressing...the perfect antidote to a dark month.
