Perfect for romanticising the scarier things about aging.
Caroline de Maigret is my woman crush and I think there's no explanation needed. Although I'm still in my 20s the topic of this book is not that hot for me but the humor, opinions and different points of view. I love it, I love her.
Quite charming. Older, but Better, but Older is a witty take, juxtaposed with staying forever young, on aging gracefully while touching on beauty, love, ageism, family, work, and living alone.
A fantastic book for those of us ladies wanting to live the second half of life with style, grace, and a little humor.

Relatable and tjereore very valublue to read for women of a certain age and or men that wish to undetstand them.
Short scenarios, lists of ideas dealing with life... wisdom from reflection with wit and grace.

Meh. That's honestly the only word I could come up with. It wasn't horrible, but I got nothing from this.
Well, for starters, I would encourage anyone unfamiliar w CDM to find a YouTube clip of, or interview with her and decide about reading this from there. She’s a model, born in 1975, with a record label and a musician boyfriend, 1M IG followers and countless Pinterest boards dedicated to her style.
Secondly, this is a step up from a Cosmo mag and many, many below any kind of substantive discussion of midlife (go read Midlife: A Philosophical Guide by Kieran Setiya instead!). Still, there are tender, legit truths that will resonate with some and there’s a tie that binds here for me! I had some chuckles and more than a few nods.
I’m sick in bed, needed a one-sitting-read-literature-reprieve, and this was it. For personal reasons, I loved it for what it was (and would probably get along famously with anyone else who did!).

this book has way more depth and less satire than its predecessor, “how to be parisian”. it really made me reflect on my life right now, as a teenager, and what kind of woman i want to grow up to be.
