Being married, the mother of a teenager, and experiencing menopause, I found myself able to relate to this book very well.  Written in the style of a diary, our "mum" reflects on life with her immediate family, holidays with her aging parents, attempts at losing weight as well as many other challenges faced in these years.  She does it with a great deal of humor which had me often chuckling and laughing out loud a couple of times.  Sometimes, the humor actually hit a little too close to home!This is a relatively short book that you could read straight through in one sitting or you could pick it up and put it down easily since there are natural breaks between the diary entries.There is a "Part 2" released which I will soon be picking up as well when I need someone to hold a mirror up to my face and make me laugh at myself as well as the author.
