PR-GIFTED

Thanks so much to @vintagebooks for sending over this new memoir in exchange for an honest review. This novel was only just realised on June 16th and is available in hardback and ebook

This novel follows the 40 something author as she navigates her mid life and the start of perimenopause. The novel highlights how she was unaware of the many changes that happen to women during this age and how it impacted many areas of her life. She also discusses her thoughts on love and relationships both when she was younger and also when she hit midlife.

I thought the book was so open and honest with a lot of discussion points that would be great for someone perhaps starting perimenopause themselves or someone in their later 30’s who wants to learn what is to come. As a female in her early 20’s, I struggled to connect with the novel to relate to the character and it felt like it was perhaps slightly for an older audience. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed hearing about her wild antics with her friends and how she attempted to date again in her midlife
