Where is the ten stars button?

Do hate the patriarchy? do you occasionally find yourself fantasizing about P Diddy, some fresh honeycomb, and a swarm of angry bees? Does the idea of Harvey Weinstein being consumed alive by a toxic fungus give you a little frisson of schadenfreude? if so, then sister, do I have a book for you.
Suspend your disbelief, because The Change is a wild damn ride.
A small, idyllic seaside town. An wealthy, gated enclave. A group of obscenely wealthy, powerful, and deeply shitty men. Three women discover that they have superpowers activated by perimenopause (including Jo, whose rage causes things to melt or go up in flames). Together, they discover the corpse of a murdered girl... and the ghosts of many more.
Vengeance is sweet. And really gruesome.
I don't know if you have to be female and in your late 40s-early 50s to love this book with the light of a thousand suns, but it probably doesn't hurt.

I will take NO criticism of this book. What a powerful revenge fantasy. Exactly what we need during this time (and, let’s be honest…all the time). Harriet, Jo, & Nessa 4ever

I read a review that said "Witches of Eastwick meets Pretty Little Liars" and I'd say that's pretty accurate. A femanine rage that dabbles in witch craft, murder mystery, and menopause. I really loved this novel and thought was sooo unique!

An absolutely feminist powerhouse of a book, everything resonates with women’s treatment in a patriarchal society but what I love about it is that there are 3 badass main women that investigate and get their revenge, which is missing from most books that contain violence against women and girls.
