Why read it?

1 author picked Woman of a Certain Rage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In this case, Eliza has ‘had enough’ and wants to rediscover what life has to offer—something a lot of us can relate to! It’s laugh-out-loud funny, full of drama and wisdom, and people of every age and gender should read it. 

From Sarah's list on featuring older protagonist.
