Annabelle Gurwitch is the child prodigy of the literature on aging. The only downside of this book is that it is bound to deepen your laugh lines.-Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and DimedActor and humorist Annabelle Gurwitch returns with a wickedly funny book of essays about the indignities faced by femmes dun certain ge. Whether she is falling in lust at the Genius Bar, coping with her best friends assisted suicide, or navigating the extensive-and treacherously expensive-anti-aging offerings at the beauty counter, Gurwitch confronts middle age with candor, wit, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. Scorchingly honest, surreally and riotously funny, I See You Made an Effort is the ultimate coming-of-middle-age story and according to Bill Maher, "it should be required reading for anyone between the ages of 40 and death. Scratch that-even after death, it's a must read."
