THE DAILY BEAST DUBBED IT
"A HOT READ”
“Whimsical encounters with fascinating characters, from a man who had filled his home with exotic birds to spending an afternoon with infamous murderer Lynette “Squeaky Fromme”... Ephron offers a deeply honest and compelling look at the events that made her the woman she is today.”
L.A. TIMES SAYS:
"[A] nosegay of life essays whose pronouncs are mostly ‘I’ and ‘we,’ but are also by implication ‘you’ – as in, ‘here’s my experience of this or that life-changing moment; what’s yours?” —Patt Morrison
THE DAILY BEAST CALLS IT "A LITTLE GEM"
"She is an expert at introspection as entertainment...the collection masters brevity and range." —Claire Howorth
–(A) delightful collection of essays with deft observations about a multitude of subjects including her childhood, her mother, giving birth, fancy shoes, shopping (particularly at Saks), affairs, flying, her first marriage, divorce and her second marriage.
She loses things—sometimes objects, sometimes relationships, sometimes emotional states– and through heartfelt, witty, insightful and clever means, she explains to the reader how she’s learned from those losses. It’s a sparkling memoir.
—Amy Steele, from entertainmentrealm.com
HELLO GIGGLES CALLS IT "A FUN AND ENGAGING READ."

NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS SAYS "EPHRON DEMONSTRATES HER AGILITY IN ENGAGING US"

JEWISH JOURNAL SAYS:
“Each chapter is an unexpected gift, a glimpse into the life of a beloved author. Ephron accomodates with deep wisdom, marvelously sharp prose and her own beguiling brand of humor.” —Dora Levy Mossanen
