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.

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.

5.0

A powerfully feminist page-turner mystery with deliciously believable witchy-ness throughout. My strong sense of justice relished the plot, and my visual self gleefully world-built around the characters. TW: language, seggsual ass@ult and unaliving.

Wow. This book fueled my fury, that is for sure. The Change forces us to look at the power we place in the hands of not only the wealthy but men in general. When three women, the unlikeliest of friends, find themselves drawn together, they have no idea what they are in for. But, one thing is for certain- they will not stop until they figure out exactly what they are dealing with. A gym owner, a botanist, and a nurse stumble upon a dead body only to learn this is just one of many. This story unravels a very tangled web of suspects and lies that will keep you on your toes and ready to burn it all to the ground!
