Judge This Book By Its Cover

They say don’t judge a book by its cover…

I say do. It’s the first bold truth you’ll see here.

I Want You to Judge this Book by its Cover

That is the first thing you should know. This cover is intentional. Every detail, colour, and line was designed to tell the story of menopause before you even open the book.

Welcome to the Club

This is more than a title. It is an invitation. Menopause is unavoidable, universal, and yet somehow each woman experiences it differently. Welcome to the Club means exactly that. Inclusive. No gatekeeping. You belong here.

It is a stage of life no one applies for,

yet every woman eventually joins.

And once you are in, the only thing left to do is share the laughs, the chaos, and the occasional disbelief that this is really happening. We often belong to this club silently. I want to take it further so women feel welcomed, appreciated, and truly heard.

A Menopause Thriller

Menopause is not gentle. It sneaks up, it surprises, and it can completely change your expectations, leaving you wondering if you can survive the plot twist.

That is why this book is a thriller.

Every hot flash,

sleepless night,

and memory lapse

feels like suspense and sometimes horror in real life.

An Ordinary Superhero Woman

The cover shows a woman.

No cape.
No dramatic stance.

She carries the undertones of a superhero,
with a quiet strength,
as she navigates the emotional ups and downs brought on by menopause while continuing to show up.

Her expression holds more than one feeling at once.
A flicker of surprise at what her body is doing today.
A trace of pain she has learned to carry without explanation.
A knowing hint of laughter, because sometimes humour is the only release.
And an unmistakable sense of endurance, built not from perfection, but from persistence.

Most days, women are expected to manage careers, families, identities, and expectations all at once. This cover reflects the persistent, understated heroism we all embody.

Chaos, Flames, and Movement

The visual chaos on the cover mirrors the experience of juggling everything at once.

Career. Family. Self. Identity.

All while your body seems to have a mind of its own.

Menopause can be messy.

It can be fiery.

It can be loud.

And yet, somehow, women keep going. This cover captures that energy, that intensity, and the beautiful, exhausting reality of showing up every day while everything feels in motion.

Guaranteed Laughs

Yes, humour is part of the design, because sometimes it is not optional, it is survival. This book is honest about the challenges of menopause, but it also gives you permission to laugh, roll your eyes, and recognise that you are not alone.

Laughter is a little lifeline. It helps us cope, connect, and even reclaim a sense of control when everything else feels unpredictable. That is what this book delivers, truth, chaos, and plenty of moments that will make you smile.

Menopause is not a Subtitle

This cover tells the truth before the book even begins. And if it stops you mid-scroll, makes you smile, or gives you a little recognition, then it has already done its job.

Thank you to my cover designer Chris Bingham with Cyan Bold Design who brought my vision to life in ways I hadn’t even imagined. 🤍
