a book about a pregnant lady whos getting divorced for a second time. the author, nora ephron, is the writer of sleepless in seattle, when harry met sally, and a bunch of other famous rom-coms.
apparently the book is based on her actual life: her husband, cheated on her while she was 7 months pregnant. also her husband is one of the two reporters who dissolved Watergate.
anyway the book is short, and surprisingly funny given the dark subject matter. also published in 1983, it takes place in the 70s, and the (7 month pregnant) author drinks without a second glance. I had to google the regulations – turns out until 70s it was not even a THING and only in the 70s did the pregnancy/drinking link started to become established.
4 stars for brevity, cleverness and recipes inserted here and there.
