Review

Leigh Anne Jasheway, a stand-up comedian and humor author, reminds us that middle age has its hysterical moments in her funny little book, "I'm Not Getting Older (I'm Getting Better at Denial). Jasheway's humor hits the spot (or, at least where the spot used to be.) Some examples: Did you know that 20% of women say their sex life is better after menopause? Of course, that could be due to memory loss.... So what if your breasts have lost some elasticity. It's not as if you were going to shoot them across the room. Were you? ... If you decide to get that procedure done in which a doctor injects fat from your thighs into your lips, ask yourself this first: "If I go through with this, will I always wonder if my pants make my lips look fat?" -- Jann Mitchell, The Oregonian, July 11, 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars For women who want to laugh their way through midlife., September 5, 1999

By A Customer

If your thick hair and thin waist have changed places or your back goes out more often than you do, grab a copy of "I'm Not Getting Older (I'm Getting Better at Denial)." Leigh Anne Jasheway finds the essential truths in our lives and makes us laugh at them. Jasheway can do nothing about sagging bustlines, but she does wonders for sagging spirits. This book is a must for any woman who wants to turn her midlife crisis into a midlife laugh fest.
