I LOVED this book. Amy Ephron is the girl you want as your best friend. Quietly humorous, classy and the voice of reason. I have heard of Ephron before, but have never picked up one of her books. She IS the great writer that everyone says she is. She will capture your attention in her 18 short stories that range from her love affair with Saks 5th Avenue to her mother’s quirky dinner table habits to living and growing up in LA. Perfect beach/travel leisure read!
