Going into this, I thought this would be humorous personal essays by everyone's favorite romcom screenwriter. I was wrong. Did you know that Norah Ephron was a journalist at the start of her career? This book is a collection of her best pieces from that time. She is a witty writer, and managed to make NYC 70s fashion gossip interesting even to me. I especially liked her profiles of bestselling authors pf the time... it's funny how essily her barbs could be applied to many of today's bestsellers. I skipped over a couple of the stories, since I just wasn't interested. Anyways, it's fun when a book catches me totally off guard.
