This is Nora Ephron's first novel. You know the name from her screen plays, especially When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle.
I chose this book because the characters in my previous selection, The Reading Group, read it and I liked the summary - it's a book about the breakup of a marriage, but it manages to be funny and poignant all at once.
I could really relate to Rachel, who discovers her husband's affair when she's 7 months pregnant. Especially since he claims he's in love with the woman, has made plans for a future with her, but claims not to have a physical relationship with her. I'm picking a lot of books that deal directly or indirectly with divorce, and this has been my favorite so far.
About Me
- Victoria
- Spectacular single mom of two. My partners in crime are Bean, my 6.5-year-old whirling dervish, and Miss O, the tiny and cute 4-year-old dynamo. Bean is alternately the sweetest and the most difficult child on earth, and there's never a dull moment when she's around. Miss O has her own way of doing things, unless she's copying her big sister. Sweet and endearing and the master of the traveling roadshow tantrum. Really. Master. As for the me, I'm cute, I'm opinionated and I talk about pretty much anything that's on my mind. What ya see is what ya get here. I'm not a drama queen, not a punch-puller and certainly not a sugar-coater.

I really hated it that Rachel made that delicious key lime pie and Mark got all of it in the face...couldn't she have thrown somehting at him that I don't like...like sour cream and raisin or mincemeat or blackberry?
