Midlife Bites: Anyone Else Falling Apart, Or Is It Just Me? by Jen Mann

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.

Okay I'll admit 15 pages and some light skimming is not a totally fair chance but if the gist of the book is to find what makes you happy and do more of that, this book isnt it.  Maybe because I feel all women feel some degree of what she feels her perspective is not unique. I wasn't laug ing, I was sad she felt alone and glad she found her people but that's about it. I don't need a book championing self care,  as a society we can't even decide what is self care for women.  And maybe she should get a doctor that is more helpful to her needs. While a yoga class can be benieficial I am sure I would benefit more from the destruction of the lies perpetuated by the patriarchy more.  Saying yes to everything for a month sounds like a cliche way to try new things and a shitty reason why I would be stuck making small talk with someone I hated over coffee and then lying about how we should do it again.  But maybe I am just a hormonal bitch right now, I am of a certain age.
