Perfect for fans of Samantha Irby, Dolly Alderton, and Nora Ephron, She's Gone Copacabana delivers a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud essay collection about midlife, motherhood, and menopause, and what happens when women stop apologizing and start wanting more.
Warm, wickedly funny, and unflinchingly honest―She's Gone Copacabana is the essay collection women will press into the hands of their friends, their sisters, and their former selves.
Anna Schott has always had an appetite: for love, for reinvention, for a life that feels bigger than the one she was handed. What she didn't have was a rulebook. Or a filter.
Across a series of bold, irreverent essays, she traces the messy, exhilarating path of a woman learning to want out loud―through disastrous relationships, delicious rebellions, moments of sharp clarity, and the kind of mistakes that leave a mark (and a good story). There are nights that go too far, mornings that come too soon, and the constant, electric question: what if she just...didn't behave?
As her world expands into a kaleidoscope of risk, reinvention, heartbreak, and hard-won self-knowledge, Anna discovers that audacity isn't something you're born with. It's something you practice. Again and again. Usually the hard way.
Because growing into yourself isn't neat. It's chaotic, intoxicating, occasionally humiliating―and completely necessary.
And sometimes?
The life you're craving is waiting on the other side of the thing you were told not to want.
