  Real, Relatable & so Clever

  What a fun read. It's like gabbing with a good friend who truly understands you and sharing a good laugh. (Or cry). Cleverly written, I'm so glad for this compilation of essays!

  I LOVED THIS BOOK!

  For me this book got better and better as the stories moved through the alphabet. The stories have vulnerability and wisdom, and are also written with humor and honesty. I laughed a lot while reading this and at times thought to myself, wow...I guess I'm not the only one going through this!

  A perfect birthday gift for your girlfriends!

  This is one of those books where you curl up in bed with your furbabies to read a chapter, only to finish the whole thing in one sitting because it is that good! It feels like an older best friend sharing the adventures of aging, all the things your mom never told you. Many sections are relatable even in your 40s, providing a hilarious visual of what to expect going forward. I actually read this on my birthday, a day I normally spend stressing about aging, but it had me laughing and appreciating my latest trip around the sun. The best is yet to come!

  Find a cozy spot and enjoy the read!

  To say this is a thoroughly entertaining and delightful read only begins to scratch the surface of this soul-baring, humorous author's peek into her uplifting and marvelously relatable baby boomer's journey. This is a book where I would hang my DO NOT DISTURB ME UNTIL I'M DONE READING sign on my door knob!

  Tired of trying to age gracefully? Instead, try aging with this humorous helper

  This book is a refreshing and hilarious take on the journey of getting older as a woman. Full of wit and charm, the author masterfully blends humor with the universal truths about aging, from the aches and wrinkles to the wisdom and freedom that come with time. What sets this book apart is its ability to tackle the serious subject of aging without ever feeling heavy. Instead, it embraces the absurdity and the joy of getting older, celebrating the quirks that come with each stage of life.

  Fun, easy read

  This book is relatable and funny on so many levels. Not only does it touch on silly childhood topics, but I was laughing out loud while reading “about myself” on many of the pages. The author has captured the thoughts of many women of my era who just haven't taken the time to reflect and memorialize these anecdotes. I enjoyed each short topic and I am looking for the sequel. Maybe the next chapters can be AA-ZZ?
