Dear Menopause

Menopause wasn’t part of Amelia’s midlife plan. Neither were thirty-two pairs of reading glasses, a drawer full of granny panties, or the humiliating discovery that Kegels can’t be trusted.

As a respected OB/GYN, Amelia is used to answering questions about hot flashes—not becoming the internet’s favorite meltdown queen. But when a wine-fueled bubble-bath rant meant for her best friend is accidentally posted to social media, she goes viral overnight.

Now she’s suspended from work, fielding interview requests, and discovering that thousands of women relate a little too enthusiastically to her unfiltered opinions about magnesium, marriage, and the gravitational disappearance of her jawline.

Desperate to escape the chaos, Amelia and her menopausal tribe head off on a girls’ getaway. There will be skinny-dipping. There may be tattoos. There will definitely be bad decisions and good times. What there won’t be is peace and quiet, or growing older with any form of grace.

Because midlife, it turns out, isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s the start of something entirely new, unexplored, and fabulous.

For every woman who has Googled symptoms at 2 a.m., woken up in a pool of body fluids, or wondered if she was losing her mind—this one’s for you.

Welcome to the Queenager era. Wine is encouraged; chocolate is mandatory.
