Over 40: Men, Girlfriends, and Other Dilemmas

How do you approach life as a middle-aged woman in a time when no one over forty wants to be called that anymore? You still feel eighteen, but time does not stand still. If you do not want to spend the rest of your life in loneliness, it is really time to look for a man again. But even more dilemmas require a solution: Is a leather jacket still an option? Botox - yes or no? Is it menopause or are you just moody? Do you get more value for your money from a psychiatrist or an aura reader? How do you find the hairdresser who will change your life? Can you, as a single person, remain friends with mothers of small children? And if so: how? Are you still happy with your sex life? Women who know the difference between a freckle and an age spot are looking for answers to questions like these – and many more. 'We don't want a fashion bible that prescribes a bright white blouse and a charcoal coat in your 40s,' says Shane Watson, 'but an honest, funny and insightful guide to help you navigate your way through your turbulent 'middle years.' And she put her money where her mouth is.
