For humorous non-fiction about middle-aged women, I highly recommend Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog by Lisa Scottoline.
Forgot all about Scottoline’s essays. They are excellent.
The Mammy, The Chisellers and The Granny by Brendan O’Carroll (oops, not NF, but I loved them nonetheless)
Anything by Nora Ephron is funny. I also love Shirley Jackson’s non fiction about raising her children. They are “Down Among the Savages” and “Raising Demons” Perhaps they aren’t from a middle aged perspective however they’re hysterical.
Ephron: “I Feel Bad About My Neck”

Erma Bombeck.
Tina Fey’s bossypants was really good
Anything by Sarah Vowell or David Sedaris (even better on audiobook)

It’s been close to a decade since I’ve read “Waiting to Exhale” but I remember laughing at some of the sex scenes.
