Dear Menopause

Menopause wasn't invited. It showed up anyway.Dr. Amelia is a respected OB/GYN who has spent her career helping women navigate hot flashes, hormones, mood swings, and all the other "joys" of midlife. But knowing the science doesn't make it any less humiliating when menopause barges into her own life with reading glasses, granny panties, questionable bladder control, and a jawline that seems to be quietly relocating south.Then one wine-fueled bubble-bath rant meant for her best friend accidentally gets posted to social media.Overnight, Amelia becomes the internet's favorite menopausal meltdown queen.Now she's suspended from work, dodging interview requests, and fighting to save the career she worked so hard to build-all while thousands of women are cheering her on because, apparently, her unfiltered thoughts about magnesium, marriage, night sweats, and aging hit a little too close to home.Desperate to escape the chaos, Amelia and her menopausal tribe head off on a girls' getaway that promises rest, relaxation, and absolutely no bad decisions.Naturally, there will be bad decisions.There may be skinny-dipping.There may be tattoos.There will definitely be wine, laughter, hot flashes, and the kind of friendship that makes midlife feel less like a crisis and more like a revolution.Dear Menopause is a laugh-out-loud women's fiction comedy about hormones, humiliation, friendship, reinvention, and one woman's wildly inappropriate journey into her Queenager era. For every woman who has Googled symptoms at 2 a.m., woken up in a pool of mysterious body fluids, or wondered if she was losing her mind-this one's for you.Welcome to midlife. Wine is encouraged. Chocolate is mandatory.
