I Feel Bad About My Neck: Introduction by Dolly Alderton (Paperback)
Nora Ephron (author), Dolly Alderton (author of introduction)Published: 09/01/2020
Frequently appearing in reader’s lists of all-time favourite funny books, this is Nora Ephron’s knife-sharp and deliciously acerbic take on womanhood. Now with a new introduction by Dolly Alderton, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a must-read combination of wisdom, wit and wincingly accurate home truths.
‘Nora’s exacting, precise, didactic, tried-and-tested, sophisticated-woman-wearing-all-black wisdom is a comfort and a relief. It’s why I give this as a present more than other book. I buy it for people so often that I’ve been known to give girlfriends two copies, one birthday after another’ - Dolly Alderton
* Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from.
* If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit.
* When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
* If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game.
* Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five.

So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don’t know how she did it. - PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE, Vogue
