Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The Panic Years: something between adolescence and menopause, a personal crisis, a transformation.
The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of 25 and 40. During this time, every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner, friends to family, work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby.
But how to stay sane in such a maddening time?
How to understand who you are and what you might want from life?
How to know if you're making the right decisions?
Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour.
Critic Reviews

Brilliant
Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this. You've managed to express everything I've felt for the last decade and couldn't articulate. I've given this to my boyfriend to listen to.

Beautifully written and great narration
This is such a relatable book for any woman in her 30’s and really nails the panic that comes with having to make life altering decisions. The author narrates this book and she has a beautiful voice that adds to the book.

Confused
I feel like the premises flipped from its ok to be confused unsure and “do what you want!” at the start then became a little preachy that kids will be the best thing you do and nothing can compare. Unsure how I felt about it over all…. Guess I’m still panicking
