- I had no idea Heartburn was based so heavily on Nora Ephron’s actual life, no wonder it felt so true and authentic!
- Imagine my disappointment when she mentioned what one of her favourite, more enrapturing books was, and it was a book I’d already read and *hated*, so upsetting, just when I though Nora and I had so much in common…
- Saying that, reading this felt like a catch-up with a messy and brilliant friend, I could easily read hundreds more pages of her experiences.
- The final essay about death and getting older was such a vulnerable and heartbreaking experience. I feel like I could learn a lot from her.

Some essays were funny or heartfelt. But some felt sexist and elitist.berodatheelf's review against another edition

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 what I expected but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Irreverent, witty, honest and unapologetic.

it's raw, blunt and funny!!! it's so accessible too!! definitely a treat for my sesame seed sized brain.
Plus, the "article about breasts" she talked about in the "my life choices" section of The Story of My Life In 3500 Words or Less is called "A Few Words About Breasts" and it's such a good and easy read, I recommend checking that out for yourself too!!
