The Story

Julia used to know exactly who she was. Now her knees pop before her feet hit the floor, her skincare routine has a longer ingredient list than dinner, and her body keeps changing its mind about what it wants to be. Somewhere between her husband Ben's before-dawn disappearing acts, her daughter Ruth's tween chaos, and a dog named Fudge who has never once questioned his life choices, Julia is quietly asking the only question that matters: is anyone still there?

Over one unraveling, glitter-streaked summer, Julia starts reaching for something that's been dormant for years — a book of her own, a friend group that actually gets it, a self she thought she'd traded in for good. Are You There God? It's Me, Menopause is a wry, warm, wide-awake novel about the version of a woman that shows up right when everyone assumes she's fading out.

For every woman who's caught her own reflection mid-hot-flash and thought: still me. just... louder now.
