-What was the point of the son’s personality traits? Nothing came of it.
-The “friendships” between these women were surface level and them coming together in the end gave me zero comfort in their “unbreakable bond”. These women sucked just as much as the men did.
-Why did the children randomly choose to live with the mom after hating her the entire book?

this book was pretty slow for the first 30%, but after it got really good!
it was hard to put down, kept me wanting more, and was the (more lighthearted, circumstantially) that i needed before fall time!
would highly recommend reading this book - and pushing through the first 30% - but be sure to look at content warnings before!

“Think of us what you will, she thought, we made mistakes, and probably scarred our children for life, and we froze sandwiches, and forgot carpool, and got divorced. But when the time came, we went the distance.
The woman characters were wonderful and I loved how they were all middle aged. The men absolutely sucked, and I hated all their husbands.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read about southern woman killing a vampire!
