Perimenopause Bites
She Had A Plan. Her Hormones Had Other Ideas
Hot flashes. Brain fog. Rage over pasta shapes. A rogue chin hair discovered mid-Zoom.
The Change is a Beast. Welcome to perimenopause. Nobody sent a memo.
Maggie Sullivan thought she was losing her mind. Her doctor prescribed iron supplements. The internet suggested celery juice. Her body, meanwhile, had other ideas.
What she really needed was Jules, Priya, an unreasonable amount of chocolate, and the realization that half the population was silently going through the same thing … and nobody had warned any of them. Maggie and her colleagues build something unexpected; a circle of women held together by coffee, brutal honesty, and being done with pretending that they’re fine.
Perimenopause Bites is the book that should have existed years ago. Funny where it needs to be. Honest where it matters. And packed with information nobody thought to give women when they needed it most. It’s a book for every woman who Googled her symptoms and ended up more confused than when she started. For every woman told it was just stress. A fictional story built on truth.
You were never the only one.
About the Author
M.V. Browne is a pen name.
The woman behind it has spent more than fifteen years in marketing and strategy across some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands. She knows what it means to hold her own in a boardroom while something entirely different is unfolding behind the scenes.
She wrote this book because the one she needed didn’t exist. What was available was either too clinical to connect, not honest enough to resonate, or missing the warmth and humor needed to truly help.
So, she wrote the version she wished someone had handed her, the one that says the quiet parts out loud.She lives in Australia with her family, an unreasonable amount of dark chocolate, and a water bottle that, after several failed attempts, is finally the right size.Perimenopause Bites is her first book, though unlikelyto be her last.
