About this title

Synopsis

The funny, sharp midlife survival guide for Gen X women and any woman over 40 who was told she could have it all...and nobody warned her what that actually meant.

Congratulations. You've reached midlife.

Your prize?

Hormonal chaos.

Adult kids who ghost you.

Friends who disappear mid-text.

A metabolism slower than your Wi-Fi.

And the sudden realization that nobody warned you about any of this.

Nobody Warned Us is not a glow-up story.

It's a sarcastic survival guide for Gen X women over 40 who were told they could have it all-and are now expected to juggle it, smile politely, and keep functioning like it's no big deal.

This book is for women who are tired, funny, slightly feral, and deeply self-aware.

Inside you'll find short, sharp essays about:

• Too Young to Retire, Too Old to Give a Sh*t

• Menopause, Mayhem & Mood Swings

• Midlife Dating & Other Unsolved Mysteries

• The Friend Breakup Nobody Talks About

• Congratulations - You're Now the Oldest Person in the Group Chat

This isn't self-help.

It's self-recognition.

A loud, dry laugh in the face of midlife mayhem.

A mirror held up to the women who kept everything running and are now quietly asking:

"When do I get to exhale?"

You won't find life hacks.

You won't find toxic positivity.

You won't be told to manifest harder.

You will find:

• Validation

• Humor

• Cultural truth

• And the comforting realization that you're not broken-you're just burnt out.

If you've ever felt invisible, unhinged, weirdly powerful, or one group chat away from losing it, this book is for you.

Not because it will fix your life.

But because you deserve to laugh at it.

For fans of Nora Ephron and Jenny Lawson, Nobody Warned Us is a sharp, funny, painfully relatable look at the strange moment when Gen X women realize they've spent decades holding everything together-and are finally ready to tell the truth about how exhausting that actually was.

About the Author

T.E. Crowe started writing the book she couldn't find. First for herself, then for her grown daughter, and eventually for every Gen X woman who's been told to suck it up and call it resilience. Her debut, Nobody Warned Us, delivers a raw, funny, and unapologetically honest take on midlife mayhem, burnout, and surviving the absurd with sarcasm intact. She lives in Alberta, Canada.
