DNF. I think this book was probably marvelous (like Nora Ephron herself) in 2006, pre-blog, pre-comedy influencers, and before the wellness industrial complex learned they could capitalize on the word perimenopause. Even though much of what we hear and read today about empowering women in midlife likely derives from Ephron’s willingness to say it in the first place—and with humor—her book comes across as dated.
