A funny and heartfelt novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here and why life isn't …

"I'm not saying this to be trite or to make you feel better, but believe me when I say this: the people who matter will see you, no matter what."

-Alexandra Potter, Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up

"I don't want to spend whatever time I have left looking backwards. I want to look forwards. To new things. New places. New adventures. Otherwise I'm just living a life where a part of me is missing."

-Alexandra Potter, Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up

"Because sometimes happiness isn't a choice. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't find joy. Which is why I've decided to stop beating myself up by desperately seeking happiness and give myself the permission to feel exactly how I feel, when I feel it. In fact, maybe, it's not happiness we should be looking for after all - but acceptance."
