I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman

By Nora Ephron

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A candid, hilarious look at women of a certain age and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself--now with an introduction from bestselling author, Dolly Alderton “Wickedly witty ... Crackling sharp ... Fireworks shoot out [of this collection].” —The Boston Globe With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron chronicles her life as a passionate city dweller, an adventurous cook, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as an older woman. Utterly courageous, laugh-out-loud funny, and unexpectedly moving in its honesty, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious treat of a book—and a candid look at dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself. As charming and irresistible as it was when it was first published, I Feel Bad About My Neck has all the wit and insight that made Ephron into a cultural icon, a perfect essay collection from a writer who has “an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are” (The New York Times).

Trivial and angry. Quick read but could have been so much better.

Interesting to listen to this now that Ephron is no longer with us. Nothing earth shattering, but a bit of insight on "When Harry Met Sally" one of my all time favorite movies.

Laugh-out-loud funny in spots. I probably should have waited 15 years to read it.
