This book was a whirlwind! I really felt like I got sucked into the writing, but the actual content was very... intense. Perhaps I was not the target audience, I could imagine people who are around the same age or managing their own conflicting feelings on life could get a lot more from it. I feel I can't recommend this book to anyone I know, but I want for one of them to have read it so that I could talk to them about it. I enjoyed the calmer (or maybe just more...rounded?) tone that came out towards the end, and that this book was unlike anything else I have ever read. I also really appreciated a lot of the reassurance it gave about aging, menopause, the future in general. It was intriguing to say the least, and I am glad I read it.
