Amy Ephron has put together a collection of essays about her memories for us to enjoy including friendships, romances, marriages and even her love for her Filofax. The story that really caught my attention was the afternoon she spent with Squeaky Fromme.
This is a well written quick read of some of the ups and downs in this author's life. Entertaining, some funny, some a little scary, but all really good. It is not a deep "get to know Amy Ephron" type book, just little snippets of certain events. Wonderful for a little escape.

I need to Recognize Sharon of Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews for drawing this book to my attention. I saw it on her list for the Monday Meme, It's Monday, What Are You Reading? It looked like something I would like to read and it also had a title that qualified for the What's In A Name Challenge. So with this book I complete that challenge and my being a book recommended by Sharon, it also gives me another entry for my 3 R'S Challenge as well, which is one I am really behind on. Thank you Sharon!!!

This sounds like an intriguing read. I will have to check out her book and her food website. I wonder of she is as funny as her sister Nora? Must be a talented family!
Sometimes I like books like that, with little snippets I can dip into when I'm driving/waiting for kids, etc! I agree, what a talented family.
