So Good by Meredith GalloFirst to rec“I read this every year.”
Daniel Day-Louis-Dreyfus“Writer/director/goddess Nora Ephron was seven months pregnant when she discovered her husband was having an affair. Living by the motto, “Everything is copy,” she crafted a wicked break-up novel that makes you want to grab life by the balls. Pair with Milk Bar truffles for maximum enjoyment!”

Paige“The funniest book you’ll ever read about divorce. So incisive and witty. Also doubles as a cookbook! Go get your life!”

Vanessa“I’ve seen the movie with Meryl but hearing her read it hit differently, maybe because it feels like hanging out with both her and Nora at the same time and that’s comforting.”

Sam“Two for the price of one: Heartburn narrated by Meryl Streep, and I Feel Bad About My Neck narrated by Nora Ephron herself. The standard to which all audiobook experiences should be held! Transcendent. Inhaled both, pure delight, prepare to absolutely cackle.”

Iman Mohamed“NARRATED BY MERYL STREEP. THAT IS ALL.”
