From the book description:
Heidi is tired. Tired, grumpy and hot as hell.
Juggling the stresses of her job whilst parenting two children is proving chaotic, and Heidi has well and truly run out of f**ks to give.
When her menopause symptoms skyrocket, Heidi dives headfirst into a sea of comically contradictory advice, absurd doctors' appointments, and the wild world of online support forums that range from cult-like to totally bloody batshit.
But the last straw comes when she receives a patronising company-wide email from HR supporting 'women of a certain age'. Heidi accidentally hits 'reply all' when calling out the bullshit, only to suddenly find herself the inadvertent new face of the menopause in her office...
