Women entering into middle-age are sure to find this
book entertaining. Shane Watson is a journalist at the
scary age of forty something-- the age when many
people have declared you over the hill and done for. Yet
Shane ends up finding love and marrying. Shane
brings laughter to some of her insight, and makes the reader
feel a camaraderie with her.
As woman get older, we all feel like we may be loosing a
race to the younger, newer, and more beautiful models coming
behind us. From the subject of woman's friendships to
fashion, Shane Watson gives the reader an interesting look
at middle-age. How many of us worry that we are turning into
our mothers, or that we are looking older than we really
are? As I find myself on the edge of the
big 4-0, I found this book entertaining. Yet, after
reading this whole book, the thing that stands out the most
is the following quote: "You know all this. And remember,
you could be dead tomorrow! So stop beating yourself up. Who
cares!"
Shane Watson regales the reader with funny tidbits-- like
how men perceive woman's clothing, and things you may find
yourself doing that make you realize that you are indeed
turning into your mother. Instead of a clinical view, this
author makes the reader feel better about herself
through humor.
IS IT JUST ME? THE MODERN WOMAN'S SURVIVAL GUIDE gives the
reader a sense of humor as she navigates her own way
through middle-age. I had a few laugh-out-loud moments
while reading this book. If you are of this
generation, and in need of a pick me up, then this is a book
you may want to check out.
A refreshingly cheeky guide to middle-aging with grace
The age of forty-and-fated-for-spinsterhood is gone. Just
ask journalist Shane Watson, who met and married Mr. Right
in her mid- forties. Shane assures us that it is never too
late to find love, rekindle your sex life-or do neither and
just be fabulous. In her witty and brilliantly irreverent
guide, she offers advice on handling all things female-and a
much-needed dose of humor for all the forty-plus Bridget
Joneses pondering the big questions like:
•Am I having enough sex?
•Should I wax my moustache?
•Is it just me, or is life getting much, much weirder?
Written in a conversational tone laced with frank and funny
insights, Is It Just Me? is a delightfully acerbic guide to
aging with style and individuality.
