Be kind and pay it forward. But if people give you unnecessary grief, don't put up with that shit. Especially when you are a woman, especially when you are dealing with perimenopause on top of that, especially if you are acting the way our society tens to expect women to do: to suffer in silence, to put other people's needs before theirs, and to be accommodating. Preferably while smiling, mind you. Because - if you haven't read the memo - the job description of being a woman, even in this day and age, includes all the things others can't be bothered to do. And then wonder why we are full of rage.

Unsurprisingly, Michelle has a lot on her plate, and hardly any respite. Good thing there are books like this one, to make us smile and remember that somewhere out there are a few fellow human beings who indeed can find the empathy to share difficulties. We don't want Michelle's daughter growing up with all the pressure society is currently pushing toward every single one of us (young or old). So yeah, if you ever come across one, cherish that wonderful person :)

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

This was a good book!! It was interesting and had some creepy parts but it was filled with lots of funny moments too! It was a good mix of a few genres and I liked all the themes this book covered.

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
