I was very intrigued while reading this, and I thought it was fascinating that it expressed the dangers of unfounded accusations. 

Very much just a book of girls lying, and I love that.

Genuinely so captivating, dramatic, and funny. I was assigned to read this for school and did not expect to enjoy it so much, but I knew nothing of the Salem Witch Trials prior to this book and was thoroughly entertained.

I actually liked a book school made me read? Wild, I know. But despite the sexism and the raging historical inaccuracies, it was fun to read. Maybe it was made more enjoyable by the fact that I got to watch my classmates read it out loud in horror and shame. The best thing you can do is make a bunch of high schoolers read out the lines of a horned up 17th-century character lol.
