'Every millennial woman should have it on her bookshelf.' Pandora Sykes, journalist and co-host of The High Low Podcast
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 time?
How to understand who you are and what you might want from life?
How 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.
'Vital reading. Nell Frizzell is a master.' Rob Delaney, co-writer and co-star of Catastrophe

Nell Frizzells 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 its 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 * Wonderful... touching, helpful and enlightening. * Sara Pascoe * A compassionate, funny and beautifully written exploration of contemporary womanhood - the book may have panic in the title, but Nells words calmed and soothed me deeply. * Daisy Buchanan * Nell Frizzell is a master. In The Panic Years, she picks you up and drops you deep inside herself and makes you see what she sees and feel what she feels in a manner that is both jarring and beautiful. I particularly recommend this book to men as it will start to heal the rift between the sexes that capitalism has if not created nourished and exploited. This book is a visceral exploration of one young womans life that has immediately applicable lessons for us all. Vital reading. Lest my trumpeting make you worry its only important, The Panic Years is also fun, funny, and warm. I love it dearly! * Rob Delaney, writer and star of Catastrophe * Heartening, eye-opening, hilarious. Im glad Nell has given this weird time a term we can all use. -- Emma Gannon Smart and perceptive...Written with real humour and consideration for the point at which every woman is in their life, this is a must-read for 2021. * Stylist, best new non-fiction for 2021 * Frizzells compassionate, compulsive prose fizzes with imaginative humour and metaphor. A memoir thats funny and heartfelt, personal and political. * Evening Standard * One of the most gripping, beautiful and euphoric glimpses of motherhood that I have ever read. Frizzell is an engaging and endearing narrator of this poignant memoir. * Telegraph *
