This is a great book for women who have gone through similar experiences. I thought it would be accessible for women who were:
* Without children
* Never married

But it really isn't that kind of book. The ideal reader for this book is a
* Woman over 40
* With kids
* Marriage or gone through a Divorce
* Woman who has had plastic surgery or botox
* Woman focused on not looking her age / dating

I am not this woman. But it may be a great read for someone who falls in those categories.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it.… (altro)

The authors focus a little too heavily on motherhood, with faint lip service to women who've decided to remain child free. This was a preview copy, and I noticed a few survey quotes repeated. The book is busy graphically, lots of differently coloured pages and side bars. I did identify with some of the lists of midlife problems, but at least living alone I have the self care/me as priority on lock down (at least insofar as others don't take priority except in crisis situations). Very heteronormative, by the end I was reading it out of curiosity as to what odd things they'd say next.… (altro)
