Description: The Panic Years: something between adolescence and menopause, a personal crisis, a transformation. The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty. During this time, every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner, friends to family, work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby. But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to understand who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you're making the right decisions? Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour.

Review: Thank you Netgalley for the advance copy of Nell Frizell's The Panic Year's. The Panic Years: something between adolescence and menopause, a personal crisis, a transformation. The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty. During this time, every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner, friends to family, work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby. 'Becoming a parent is the only decision that comes with a biological deadline, the only one that cannot be reversed: it is, therefore, the one decision that throws all others into such sharp focus.' I completely identified with this book and this is exactly how I felt in my late twenties before my children. I loved how she discusses fertility as a feminist issue, relationships, breakups and comparing ourselves to others. This was both hilarious and honest and will be a book keep returning to for years to come.

Review: Unfortunately, this book is a droning monologue which constantly repeats itself and offers little insight and wisdom into the real tumultuous relationship women have with the so called ‘panic years’. Don’t recommend if you’re wanting something well-written and well-organised.
