The Midlife Plot Twist’s cracking wit leapt off the page and chased me around the room. I laughed, I cried, and I know it is not the hormones. I’m buying two copies, one for each eye.”

Karen Duffy, former MTV DJ and bestselling author of WISE UP: IRREVERENT ENLIGHTENMENT FROM A MOTHER WHO'S BEEN THROUGH IT

“This one is for all the women using gummies and gratitude journals to try to make sense of the last four decades of their lives. The Midlife Plot Twist is a funny, compassionate, and unapologetic reality check.”

Samantha Cole, author of HOW SEX CHANGED THE INTERNET AND THE INTERNET CHANGED SEX: AN UNEXPECTED HISTORY

“If doing everything ‘right’ has left you feeling exhausted and unsatisfied or if you thought you’d feel more confident and secure by now, and if you’re tired of playing by the rules only to feel like you’ve lost the plot of your own life, this book can help transform your relationships—with your money, your career, your people, and yourself.”

Stefanie O’Connell, author of THE AMBITION PENALTY: HOW CORPORATE CULTURE TELLS WOMEN TO STEP UP — AND THEN PUSHES THEM DOWN

“‘It’s not too late to change.’ Thank you, Lindsay Goldwert and Gabrielle Moss, for delivering a message that every woman over forty deserves to hear, and for doing it with such compassion, humor, and practical guidance.”

Kristen Meinzer, cohost of THE NIGHTLY, MOVIE THERAPY, and BY THE BOOK podcasts; coauthor of HOW TO BE FINE

“A well-researched and hilarious permission slip to go ahead and hit ‘reset’ on your life.”

Valerie Lapinski, journalist and creator of the perimenopause zine FAN CLUB

“Finally, some real empathy for our just-trying-to-figure-it-out younger selves! This funny, heartfelt book will help freaked-out older millennials and burned-out Gen Xers realize that it’s not too late to be the brave, weird, and independent person you always wanted to be.”

Catey Hill, senior managing editor of MARKETWATCH; author of SHOO, JIMMY CHOO! and THE 30-MINUTE MONEY PLAN FOR MOMS

“Instead of running away from your life, read The Midlife Plot Twist, which will give you the support and solidarity to come back to yourself. This book will remind you that it’s not too late, and perhaps midlife isn’t a crisis but an unexpected opportunity to finally live life the way you really want to.”

Courtney Carver, author of GENTLE: REST MORE, STRESS LESS, AND LIVE THE LIFE YOU ACTUALLY WANT
