Publisher's Summary
For every woman that has ever felt trapped; a funny, raw, and empowering mid-life-crisis.
Creator, mother, lover, and social media phenomenon Tova Leigh explores what the hell you are supposed to do when you find yourself living a life you don't remember signing up for.
I was bored, angry, tired, and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog, and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless. I didn't want to be looked at as just a "mom". I wanted to be desired, to make someone's hair stand on end and go crazy for me. I didn't want to live by some label that didn't represent me. I looked at my messy minivan one morning and I wanted to vomit on it all. I panicked, thinking about how I am slowly approaching middle age and menopause, and I wondered how many years do I have left of being "f--ckable" before everything starts going downhill?
In her first book, Tova takes the listener on her journey of rediscovering who she is after motherhood and beyond the norms society forces upon women, whilst encouraging them to break free and just be themselves.
When you find authenticity it's hard to go back. It's like opening a door to the truth and starting to breathe a new type of air. This discovery is what prompted me to write. It's my way of saying HERE I AM.

F’ing amazing!!
At 23 I have had my fair share of heartache. From sexual abuse, child neglect, drug use, a marriage separation & the loss of our son. This book shook me in ways I didn’t know possible. So many of Tova’s words built a fire within me. This book is everything I needed and more. I’m gaining my power back and celebrating my self. I want to love myself. I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!

any mum needs something in this
loved it, helped me to realise I have to change my ways - encouraged me and made me laugh - holy shit balls did I laugh!
I have 5 kids and I wore headphones so I could enjoy and the kids would come running each time I laughed " what was funny mum?"
mostly what was funny was completely inappropriate 😂 so I moved them on haha
honestly this woman and her way with words is enjoyable, engaging, happy and sad - I will and already have recommended it to many women in my life - possibly to my husband 😏
