Book Review of Heartburn (Vintage Contemporaries)

I recommend this book for a quick fun read. Since I have seen most of Nora Ephron's movies multiple times I could recognize lines from this book in her later movies, that's okay since they are pretty funny lines. Nora fictionalizes her divorce but it isn't really a depressing read because Nora (the character Rachel) doesn't really feel too sorry for herself. As long as there is a good story to tell Rachel feels her husband's affair while she is pregnant isn't that bad, she will survive on food and fodder. Looking forward to make a key lime pie from the included recipes.
