A sharply funny, fully illustrated ABC gift book about the chaos and absurdity of perimenopause, offering a hilarious alphabet of symptoms, spirals, and situations women were never warned about but will immediately recognize.

"Gloriously unhinged and painfully relatable, this is the book every woman who needs a laugh while navigating the absurdities of midlife desperately needs. Buy one for yourself and twelve for your friends.” —Arielle Eckstut, Co-Founder of The Book Doctors and author of The Secret Language of Color

Perimenopause does not ask for a written invitation. It arrives without warning and, before you realize what’s happening, starts messing with your metabolism, ransacking your relationships, and sabotaging your sleep and sense of self.

In P is for Perimenopause: The ABCs of a Hormonal Hellscape, each letter pairs irreverent, deeply relatable humor with colorful, emotionally observant illustrations to name a symptom, behavior, or cultural absurdity with striking specificity. From brain fog and baffling body changes to hot flashes, late-night overthinking, and quiet, simmering rage, this illustrated perimenopause humor book reflects the experience in a way that seems both ridiculous and unmistakably familiar.

Structured as an escalating, alliterative alphabet, the book builds from early confusion to full-system overload, expanding beyond the A–Z with a brutally honest glossary, a full-body diagram of everything that seems to be going wrong, all-night search histories, and survival-kit essentials.

This is a funny menopause gift book to be read aloud, laughed over, and passed among friends. It names the chaos, the rage, the weirdness, and the quiet panic with honesty and humor, giving women a way to feel seen and a little less alone.

Here’s what makes P is for Perimenopause painfully funny:

• A perimenopause book that says the quiet part out loud: Funny, candid, and validating without turning into a clinical guide.

• An illustrated ABC of hormonal chaos: Each letter delivers a sharp, relatable take on symptoms, spirals, hot flashes, brain fog, body changes, and midlife absurdity.

• Bold, hilarious illustrations: Colorful, expressive artwork heightens every symptom, spiral, and absurd moment, making the book as visually funny as it is emotionally accurate.

• A gift for women who get it: Perfect for friends, sisters, book clubs, birthdays, gag gifts, midlife survival baskets, and anyone navigating perimenopause.

P is for Perimenopause is a perimenopause humor book, menopause humor book, and funny menopause gift for women navigating hormones, hot flashes, brain fog, midlife body changes, and the absurdity of life in a changing body.
