I wanted to love this book. I wanted to feel connected to the characters. And in some moments, I did.  
I liked the concept of 3 women coming into their own power in their late 40s, and I even liked some of the elements of traditional mysticism, but there was no need to make it super-power-ish. 
Ultimately. I felt like the story dragged on, and I agree with others that the story never really made up its mind on what kind of story it was telling - empowering, yet fun; dark with elements of social commentary and true crime; a fantastic tale in which women prevail. It was too much in too many pages. 
That being said, it was worth the read.

Intensely riveting. I loved the cast of women in this book and their use of feminine rage. At times I was laughing at the audacity of some of the men and other times on the verge of tears for the hurt they bestowed on the women. 

I docked just a half star because I would have liked to see some LGBTQIA+ representation, otherwise I absolutely loved this book

This book is as good as everyone has said. Who pissed off this author? They’d better watch themselves. I loved seeing these women and their magical realism. Watching these women become bad asses and handing all the men their asses was amazing. The rage and the justice is perfection. Every femme should read this book.
