Midlife Bites by Jen Mann

A smart, personal, darkly funny examination of what it's like to be a woman at the crossroads of a midlife crisis, from the New York Times bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat

"I inhaled this book in one sitting; it's a must-read for anyone over forty. This should become the gift all girlfriends give one another."-Zibby Owens, host of the award-winning podcast Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books

Jen Mann had what appeared to be the perfect life- a successful career as a bestselling author and award-winning blogger, a devoted husband, teenage kids who weren't total jerks, and a badass minivan. So imagine her surprise when, at forty-seven years old, a midlife crisis kicked her straight in the ladybits.

Midlife Bites offers Jen's trademark wit and honesty when it comes to important conversations and observations about women in midlife. Here, readers will be able to come together and find anecdotes and practical ideas to help navigate through this major point in their lives. For women who may feel isolated or overlooked, this collection of original essays offers valuable insights, takeaways, and, most important, a productive way forward. Jen shares her own story as well as advice and wisdom from the online community she built, tackling everything that bites about midlife, where nothing is off-limits- raging hormones; sex (after forty); finding your purpose; learning to make new friends (yes, even as a grown-up); moving out of your comfort zone; having conversations that count, no more small talk; and how to deal with rogue chin hairs (and other nuisances).

Jen Mann is leading the movement to create a new space where middle-aged women can share openly and honestly with one another. This no-BS collection of essays will help start the conversation and keep it going, because as women, we all have a right to be happy, fulfilled, and whole, no matter what stage of life.

Jen Mann is the author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat, a national best-selling book based on her popular blog of the same name. She's also contributed to The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, NickMom, Babble, Circle of Mothers, and CNN Headline News, among other publications. Her site won a Bloggie Award for Best Parenting Weblog in 2014. She is married to the Hubs and the mother of two children whom she refers to as Gomer and Adolpha on her blog. She lives in Overland Park, Kansas. Their real names, she claims, are even worse.
