ReviewsReads like a weekend away with the best friend you ever had--blazingly vulnerable, scorchingly smart, and funny as hell. It's both an intimate portrait of one woman as she approaches menopause and a full-throated cultural howl about what it means to be female and forty or fifty or sixty something in America today. I was filled with recognition as I read the book's first pages and flooded with gratitude by the end. . . . A beautiful book you're going to miss after you've read the last page., Loh is that rare writer who is howlingly funny on the surface and subtly brilliant just beneath...Goes down like cheap wine--fast and furiously--yet at the end, instead of a hangover, you have a bold and beautiful new view of life., Loh is that rare writer who is howlingly funny on the surface and subtly brilliant just beneath. . . . . Goes down like cheap wine--fast and furiously--yet at the end, instead of a hangover, you have a bold and beautiful new view of life., [Reading this book] I laughed maniacally, nodded in empathy, hooted, teared up, and laughed some more., Loh here goes bravely to the heart of her book's mystery, which is every memoir's mystery: how did I get this way'...[It] does what memoir ought to do: it reminds the reader she's not alone., I laughed maniacally, nodded in empathy, hooted, teared up, and laughed some more. And while you could make the case that with a menopausal woman, that could have happened even had I spent the time gardening, in this case I am pretty certain it was the author's doing., Reads like a weekend away with the best friend you ever had--blazingly vulnerable, scorchingly smart, and funny as hell.

SynopsisIn a voice that is wry, disarming, and totally candid, Sandra Tsing Loh tells the moving and laugh-out-loud tale of her roller coaster through "the change." This is not your grandmother's menopause story. Loh chronicles utterly relatable, everyday perils: raising preteen daughters, weathering hormonal changes, and the ups and downs of a career and a relationship. She writes also about an affair and the explosion of her marriage, while managing the legal and marital hijinks of her eighty-nine-year-old dad. The upbeat conclusion: it does get better., From an "imaginatively twisted and fearless" writer (Los Angeles Times), a hilarious memoir of middle age.
