What made this author think that it was a good idea to try to dictate to women what they should/should not wear after a certain age?

Anyway Alison, if you ever read this I'm so sorry that you were not blessed with any talents or gifts for writing. I hope you've found your 'thing' by now. Also, your hair cut is ugly.

What a pile of crap! These ‘authors’ have basically copy and pasted every joke, cliche and story about being middle aged from the internet, claimed they wrote a book and had the audacity to charge £10 for it. There’s no point reading past the first page, no idea how they dragged it out for 160 pages

Nice concept and a lot expected to read about it. The start is good and one can see themselves in mirror, however later it gets with other stuff which feels not much relevant to the original subject of discussion. Could have been better.

Some of the things in this book made me smile but it wasn't a book I'd buy for myself someone bought it for me thought it would give me a good laugh, it didn't.

Rubbish. A complete waste of money. There was barely one original thought in this book. All it appeared to be was a collection of other people's work and jokes that somehow related to middle-age. It was obviously put together by two 30-something spinsters that couldn't keep a boyfriend, as much of the content appeared intended for that demographic.

Don't bother.

though i fall into their age range of over 30, this book contained little to which I could relate...and I also didn't think it was that funny.
