“I wanted tocall the bookMiddle-Aged Madness,” she told PEOPLE in 2018. “You have to understand that in the past nobody thought that 50-something people would need to go on dating apps and take their clothes off in front of strangers. Nobody ever thinks that that’s what their 50s are going to look like.”
