Why We Can’t Sleep
by Ada Calhoun
When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

Kim’s Review – If you’re in your 40s (or late 30s or early 50s) and are starting to experience more melt-downs than “usual,” it might be your menopausal hormones kicking in and bullying their way through your bloodstream on top of all the other complications! Let’s face it – this generation of women has its share of issues, and not because we asked for it! We grew up with it. If you remember the Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner cartoons where Wile E. Coyote was always somehow involved with ACME explosive products and was equipped with disposable lives, then this book is for you. You’ll find yourself laughing, shaking your head, nodding in agreement, and thinking, “That was ME yesterday!” So in addition to all the messed-up stuff you witnessed by default, hormones are raging. And sometimes you’re raging – and you may or may not remember why. Yes…I know.
Loved it – ★★★★
