This book is so good!   The horror is visceral.  The theme of menopause issues and just how women, especially older women, are treated.   I just have so many wonderful feelings about this book.  It also had quite a bit of humor.   I am listening to the afterword where the cis-male author discusses whether this should have been his story…and truthfully I don’t care who wrote this book…someone needed to, and I think (saying this as a cis-female 50 something ) Nat did a great job.   I feel seen.
