How Did I Get to Be 40 & Other Atrocities by Judith Viorst

5.0

I love these poems! The feelings and experiences of turning 40 (for a woman) must be relatively universal because I identified with every last poem in this book. I found them to be both raucously funny and utterly sad...if only because I understood every single one at gut level. Reading them was bittersweet. Judith Viorst got it so right; she "hit the nail on the head", so to speak.
