With "Heartburn" ($17), Nora Ephron, creator of "Sleepless in Seattle" and "When Harry Met Sally," penned a somehow-hilarious and touching novel about the breakup of a marriage. The protagonist, cookbook author Rachel, navigates finding out her husband is in love with someone else while she's seven months pregnant. Along the way, she shares recipes, too — including none other than the vinaigrette behind the Olivia Wilde salad scandal. This breakup read will make you laugh, maybe cry, and probably be hungry, too (which is honestly perfect when heartbreak has quashed your appetite).
