The Panic Years: something between adolescence and menopause,a personal crisis,a transformation.
The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty. During this time,every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner,friends to family,work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline,the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby.
But how to stay sane in such a maddening timeHow to understand who you are and what you might want from lifeHow to know if you're making the right decisions
Raw,hilarious and beguilingly honest,Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women,men,mothers,children,partners,friends,colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Nell Frizzell's thoughts on womanhood and motherhood are as informative as they are poetic. Writing that challenges and enlightens you just as much as it entertains and stimulates you is rare,this book confidently does both on an important and complicated topic for modern women'- Dolly Alderton
'Searingly honest,witty and moving. For anyone who knows what it's like to simultaneously want to weep with joy and throw your child out of the window,Frizzell is a very welcome voice in the conversation on motherhood.'- Vogue
'There is so much about womanhood that feels indefinable. And yet with her definitions of the flux,and the panic years,Nell manages to define the indefinable - as well as uniting childfree women and mothers,where the two are so often pitted against one another. Lyrical,moving and thorough,this is a memoir,a feminist text and a piece of social commentary. Every millennial woman should have it on her bookshelf.'- Pandora Sykes
'The Panic Years made me laugh and it made me cry. There's a rare tenderness to this book that comes from not having felt seen before. It's for our generation,and Nell gets it. She understands and respects us.'- Rhiannon Cosslett
'Brilliant'- Grazia
