|reviewer=Sue Magee
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=The creator of ''When Harry Met Sally'' takes a light-hearted looked at the effects of aging ageing and other thoughts on being a woman. It's gentle, self-deprecating and should be an instant hit with any woman who has realised that she will not look under thirty for ever.

I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. I'm not going to emulate Nora Ephron's maintenance schedule but I have a greater appreciation of the time that I save each day by not being that bothered about the result.
It's not a literary kindness to call these pieces 'essays'. They're generally well-crafted and very entertaining. Whilst some of the subject matter might be considered trivial, the insight is not. If you're looking for a more literary book then Bookbag can recommend [[At Large And At Small by Anne Fadiman|At Large And At Small]] by [[:Category:Anne Fadiman|Anne Fadiman]], the master of the familiar essay, but if you're looking for a present for an aging ageing woman then I think this might be the book for you.
