Holy shit, this was a hell of a ride! Great characters, a wicked sense of humor, and simmering with righteous feminine rage.

Dinged it slightly for some awkward time jumps that slightly confused my dumb ass. 😅 But definitely one of my faves I've read so far this year!

I read a review calling this "Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick" and that about sums it up.  Part mystery/thriller with a dash of magical realism and plenty of feminist rage, this was a cathartic read for me.
