Part confessional. Part comedy. Entirely relatable.

Things I Shouldn’t Tell You takes an unapologetically funny look at the trials, triumphs and unexpected indignities of being a woman in midlife. From a magical mistress and a quick-fix vibrator to the fine art of plucking chin hairs, Shannan Calcutt finds humor in the things women experience but are often told they shouldn’t talk about.

“I truly believed midlife would be a time when I’d be thriving, but I somehow missed the memo on the crash landing of second puberty.”
Shannan Calcutt
