Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Catherine Newman, Ann Napolitano, and Meg Wolitzer, Are You There God? It’s Me, Menopause is a bold, funny Gen X ode to friendship, hormones, and what happens when you finally stop holding it all together.

Warm, razor-sharp, and deeply honest―Are You There God? It’s Me, Menopause is the kind of book women press into their friends’ hands, text about in all caps, and return to when life cracks open in unexpected ways.

Julia Levy has always known how to manage things: show up, stay polite, keep the peace… and absolutely do not say what she’s really thinking. Unfortunately, her hormones―and her life―never got the memo. 

When menopause hits like a wrecking ball―upending her body, her relationships, and her carefully constructed identity―everything she’s spent years holding together starts to come undone. Friendships deepen and fracture. Long-buried truths bubble up. And suddenly, staying quiet feels less safe than saying the wrong thing out loud. As her world spirals into a hilarious, tender chaos of group chats, emotional landmines, reinvention attempts, and the kind of honesty that only comes at 50, she’s faced with a choice: keep smoothing things over… or finally tell the truth.

Because it turns out, midlife isn’t the end of anything. It’s the beginning of saying what you mean.

And sometimes?

You don’t find yourself by holding it all together. You find yourself…  by letting it all fall apart.
