had more of a Jeffrey Epstein/Guilayne Maxwell vibe at the end, wasn’t expecting that.

Absolutely insane book. Loved the mystery element and actually enjoyed the characters so much that the flashbacks at the beginning weren’t too jarring, and when you get into the meat of the story they become so good. The description says it best that’s it’s a rage scream of a book, and while some women may not have had these experience there are a lot who have or know ones that have. The revenge aspect was very satisfying but it takes you on a ride before you get there!

This was an enjoyable feminist revenge fantasy. I didn't think the writing was the best (the dialogue often felt forced). Some of the feminist and class conscious messaging felt a little 101 but hey some people need that. Despite these critiques, I found myself enjoying the story throughout, it was a very easy and pretty quick read relative to its length, I was gripped by how the story would resolve and satisfied by the ending

The story centers on teenagers who are raped and murdered- these scenes are not described graphically but it is a pervading theme of the book

I loved this book. I thought it had a great lens of feminism as the overtone of the book. This book could even leans towards misandrist which I don’t mind myself. I love that this book doesn’t shy away from vengeance as justice and women’s rage. It has a strong theme of justice by any means including revenge, murder and violence. I also enjoyed the mystery element of it all. I was

kind of surprised that Leo & Claude were involved but he was TOO nice

. I wasn’t too surprised though however I enjoyed that the author didn’t drop any hints to allude to his villainy because that always gives them away. I enjoyed would recommend. I’m taking a star because it was a little heavy handed on certain feminist points like daily scenarios that women experience. The kind of points that explain things that a woman reader would already know. So, it kind of explains itself a bit but overall I enjoyed. I would definitely recommend to people branching into feminist rage fiction

I came across this while browsing through Libby and decided to borrow it without reading the synopsis so I had absolutely no idea what it was even about or what to expect. Am I mad about it? Nope. Overall, it was pretty good. The characters were awesome and I laughed out loud more than a few times. I did think it was a little long and I found myself getting bored during the last 25% though. I am all about female empowerment and all that but I feel like this was a lot and almost trying too hard but also fell short in some ways. I listened to this on audio and loved the narration. I’m going to think on it for a couple days and maybe come back and update this review but for now it was just alright.

This book takes all of the trappings of menopause and the fear that surrounds it and turns it on its head. I recommend for all readers, but particularly for women. Men, be prepared to feel offended while reading. You can handle it.

This book deals with a lot of difficult and very real themes, but does so in a thoughtful way. The author also calls out true crime victim exploitation in a way that makes you want to send it to every podcaster making their money off of glorifying serial killers.
