Hilarious and sincere personal memoirs compare everyday life from the whimsical kaleidoscope of a young female adult transitioning into a 50 something woman. Identify with the author’s humorous and racy accounts of body heat and facial hair, purchasing blue jeans and undergarments to requiring blood tests for potential sexual suitors. Belly laughing to the antics of a teenage rock queen, an angry push up bra, daddy porn tips, a bigini, not to be confused with a bikini, and a giant condom wrestling match will make you giggle out loud until your face hurts.
