Will I love I Feel Bad About My Neck?

For me, Nora Ephron is the epitome of humor and grace as she dishes up the very ingredients that go into being a woman in this crazy world. Humor is the hardest thing to write, and this author, who believed that everything is copy, brings to the book the full force of that life rule as well as an eye that is infallible. 

This book didn't feel so much like a book as a long conversation with a best friend. When a middle-aged woman's chin sprouts peach fuzz and spiky hairs like a garden run amok, we might feel embarrassed or too self-conscious to talk about it.

In this book, Nora Ephron helps us see ourselves through our shared experiences, assuring us that we're in good company. The laugh score? 8.5/10. Turkey neck can only be so funny.

As women age, we often hide the things that are happening to our bodies.

We can be too embarrassed to talk about the new wrinkles that are spreading on our faces, or how going through menopause makes us sometimes think we are losing our minds. Women go through so many changes both physically and emotionally in their lives, and these changes are what this book is all about.

I read this book long before I was even close to Nora Ephron’s age, but hearing how she accepted this inevitable journey made me feel so much better about what would eventually… show more.
