There Are No Grown-ups: A Midlife Coming-of-Age Story

Coming of age, midlife edition, is spot on. As a women enduring peri symptoms at the tail end of 30, a decade before my peers, I appreciate the summarized wisdom lists at the end of each digestible chapter because reading retention with thick brain fog is frustrating AF. I was able to read 1 chapter at a time and feeling content like i've had a good chat with a witty friend. Some chapters were dull but life can be like that at times. I was curious if meeting and making friends in paris was as difficult as i find it where i am. like maybe it was just an awkward phase in life or a regional thing?

This is a book i've had in my TBR for 2 yrs and have been needing in my life as i fumble aimlessly into midlife wondering WTF is happening all of a sudden.

I was able to read 1 chapter at a time and feeling content like i've had a good chat with a witty friend. I need more of this ... whether IRL or book. Midlife thus far has been rocky and unstable and a good laugh about shared misery is what i sorely needed.
