MEDIA REVIEWS
Few will troll these droll selections without being charmed to bits... Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother's Day that wasn't yet one more box of chocolate? Remember this book. You'll thank me. It's perfect * Guardian *
An uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are * The New York Times *
What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it should be so grim * Sunday Times *
Wildly funny
