I had this on my Kindle for ages and am glad I finally read it.

This is a laugh out loud collection of essays about a woman of a certain age who still sees herself as a twenty-something. I can certainly relate!

@dabbe When you posted a review of another of her books the other day, I vaguely remembered having this 😄 She's now officially on my radar!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My first, but not last, Laurie Notaro (nope, no relation to Tig). I don‘t usually offer comparisons but this is giving toned-down Helen Ellis and Jenny Lawson vibes. Funny personal essays are one of my favorite things to read, especially on audio, even better with a cohesive theme. The notion of “Midlife Mayhem” is more relatable that I‘d like to admit …

Can't find the app to add to my new phone, so this hobbled together image will have to do. Sorry for the crappy look of things. 😬 Funny stuff though! 🤣

Had lots of out loud laughs, snorts, and chuckles while reading this one! As always, Laurie's brand of in your face humor starts on page one and never lets up. Highly entertaining!

I did wish the chapters were laid out more chronologically, as I found it ever so slightly confusing when something I knew had already happened a couple of chapters prior had not yet come to fruition in the current essay.

While. Might not have laughed as much as I did with her earlier books, these were still some very funny essays about aging, and just being over 50. #ispybingo:balloon

These (mostly) funny essays are targeted at the over-50 crowd. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#excuse-me-while-i-disappear

A relatable, fun read about Laurie's experiences during her mid life phase showing us we are not going through this alone and that our incidents are indeed not isolated and need not be taken so seriously as I have been as they are all part of the process. From false menopausal transition, body powder, unexpected duck quacks, the need to pee more than ever...I was here for it all and literally highlighting parts as I went to re-read later.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved this book and it made me laugh out loud. A series of essays from Notaro about aging.
