This comforting memoir will help us all feel less alone as we navigate the emotional turmoil of midlife – Davina McCall, author of Menopausing

From the bestselling author of Mum, What’s Wrong With You? comes a witty, compelling, honest and reassuring guide to living a magnificent midlife.

If I was removed from the hurly burly of these overwhelming days, I would be able to patiently and logically think it all through. To untangle this conundrum. I would be able to find the thing I had lost. Probably the most important thing I owned. My identity.

Tackling everything from empty nest, career reinvention, sex, marriage, brain fog, burnout, perimenopause and menopause, this laugh-out-loud memoir is a pathfinder for women whose messy midlife rage caught them by surprise. With advice from experts, celebrities and personal stories, the book will help women feel less alone as they embrace this liberating and transformational new stage of life.
