I'll Have What She's Having

Post by Helga_ »

I'm a '80s baby, grew up watching some rom-coms of the 90s, but I really had no clue about what was going on in the stories :mrgreen2: Now I realize I loved some of Nora Ephron movies. At this stage of my life, I plan on revisiting some of the classics. The fever all began when I stumbled upon a short review of this book.

If you've read it, how do you like it?
Plus, wouldn't it ruin the fun of watching the movies if I read this book first?

I haven't read this book, but I adore Nora Ephron. She's written several books, and they're hilarious! I most recently read I Feel Bad About My Neck, and I couldn't stop laughing! The book is geared toward women about a decade older than me (I'm an 80s kid), but I still thought it was great! I highly recommend it if you're a Nora Ephron fan!

Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds like it's my cup of tea :)

I enjoyed the heck out of it and found it an easy read, light-hearted and witty. I liked the story and recommended it to a lot of my friends.

Thanks, Helga, for the introduction to this book - I'm going to look this one up, as it sounds really interesting.
