Review
"Beth Teitell tells it like it is and how it's going to be for women who are middle-aged and only going to become more so."--New York Daily News
"If you're female, between the ages of 20 and death, and simultaneously disturbed and amused by 21st century beauty culture, this is the book for you."--Body & Soul
"Teitell's sharp wit and reporting chops bring a mix of riotous fun and compelling insight about our obsession with anti-aging. A must-read for anyone packing a cosmetic bag full of paraban-free creams, Drinking Problems comes with one caveat: It will cause laugh lines."--Boston Herald
"Laugh-out-loud funny, honest, and ultimately quite uplifting, the book addresses everything from repressed anger at friends' cosmetic procedures to outrageous product claims."--Boston Globe

"Author Beth Teitell has decided to take on the malady that often afflicts American women: 'Fear of looking our age.'"--Time magazine
