If you don’t know who Nora Ephron was, it is time to go back to 1980s romantic comedies. She wrote classics like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and Silkwood. This book is a collection of short essays by Ephron, mostly dealing with her personal experience as a woman aging in America. Her insights are razor sharp, and she knows how to write a joke. Most women, even those who are not reaching “a certain age” as she calls it, will appreciate them. Personally, I fully related to I Hate My Purse. Her belief that the inside of her purse was an insight into her messy, disorganized self, hits right on target for me. The book is full of essays that have been previously published, including in Reader’s Digest, and managed to hit #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. I am certain that if you read this, you will be promoted to read other books by Ephron, and brush up on her filmography. At 137 pages, it is a pleasant read. #ifeelbadaboutmyneck #noraephron #essays #comedy #aging #romcom #icon #1 #1bestseller #bestseller #newyorktimesbestsellers #bookstagram #book #bookstagrammer #books #read #reading #bibliophile #2006 #kalidesautelsreads

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
