Where Are My Glasses?

From the award-winning comedian, talk show host, and author of I Know I Am, But What Are You? comes a new book of honest, humorous essays on getting older, in the vein of Nora Ephrons I Feel Bad About My Neck.

Of the four billion women on earth who will, eventually, get older, only seemingly ten of them have any understanding of what’s coming. Samantha Bee would know—she was one of the many who had no idea.

In this hilarious and irreverent essay collection, she shares her own lessons learned firsthand through all the trials of aging (so you don’t have to) and dives into important subjects such as:

-Her hunt for a bra constructed with whale bones for strength and iron buttons for durability
-Frozennnn shoulderrrrr (if you know, you know)
-Brain fog—if she can remember what she wanted to say about it
-The ever-present question: Should she get a facelift?
-Things her brain can no longer make space for (What is a peptide? What happened at the Alamo again?)

This book is for every woman celebrating the successes, the indignities, and the occasionally bizarre moments of aging. The woman who opens the fridge one afternoon to find she left her car keys next to the milk. The woman sitting at the conference table radiating heat as two titty-shaped sweat stains spread across her silk blouse. The woman who finally got her dream job hosting a late-night TV show and then immediately hit perimenopause. (Actually, that woman wrote this book.)

Getting older doesn’t come with one-size-fits-all problems. But in Where Are My Glasses?, you’ll find plenty of your own—as long as you can find your reading glasses first.
