From the New York Times bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat comes a smart, funny, personal examination of what it's like to be at the crossroads of a woman's midlife crisis. Jen Mann had what appeared to be the perfect life: a successful career, a devoted husband, teenage kids who weren't total jerks, and a badass minivan. However, at forty-seven, a midlife crisis hit her unexpectedly. To cope with the emotional and physical changes, Jen shared a candid post titled "Anyone Else Falling Apart Or Is It Just Me?" This resonated with women nationwide, sparking a movement as they expressed their own feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction. Midlife Bites encompasses these vital conversations, creating a community for women navigating this significant life phase together. Jen shares her personal experiences alongside insights from the online community she built. This is not your typical self-help book; it addresses everything that bites about midlife with a no-nonsense approach. Topics include raging hormones, sex after forty, finding purpose, making new friends, engaging in meaningful conversations, and dealing with nuisances like rogue chin hairs. This collection of essays serves as a call to action, encouraging middle-aged women to share openly and honestly, as everyone deserves to feel happy, fulfilled, and whole at any stage of life.
