From “the queen of quips” (The New York Times) comes an inspiring and hilarious quote collection about everything that matters—love and heartbreak, good food and good company, aging well and writing well

We all want a best friend like Nora Ephron: frank but forgiving, wry but caring, someone who knows not only what to say but how to say it.

Don’t know what to wear? “Everything matches black, especially black.”

Trouble in love? “You can never know the truth of anyone’s marriage, including your own.”

Searching for a new belief system? “My religion is Get Over It.”

Here is the best of Nora for every season of life, across her storied career, from her early days in the news media to becoming the author of a cult classic novel, to her unexpected turn as a legendary Hollywood writer. Nora saw it all, and with a wicked sense of humor and shrewd intellect, she made it all deliciously funny. Filled with unforgettable lines, this is a celebration of Nora’s singular wit and generosity—start at the beginning or flip to any page for instant delight.
