I'm not used to this pov style and the ending seemed really abrupt, I wish they was a little bit more to this story, but I really enjoyed this book. I love the four female characters Meme, Bisou, Maggie, and Keisha. I love how strong and brave they each are whether they are/were a wolf hunter or not.
I think Sybil's (Meme) story was tragic and sad. I really liked her husband Garland until what he eventually did when he found out what she is. He was a really sweet character and even though I understand his reaction in a way I wish he would have understood everything and stayed.
Bisou's boyfriend James was also really great. I love how supportive and protective he is of Bisou even while not knowing what Bisou is.
I wouldn't loved to see more about Maggie's stalker and maybe figuring out who he is and whether or not he is who is suspected in the book or someone else.
I would've also looked to know who this self proclaimed incel is who sent several letters to Keisha to be published in the schools newspaper. And I would've liked to know if Maggie's stalker and Keisha's random letter sender are the same person.
So obviously that's plenty of questions that went unanswered, the ending being quite abrupt, and the pov style not being one I'm used to all are what brought my rating down. But I did enjoy the story. I loved how the book deals with a lot of women's issues and how they impact women.
I do suggest looking into the trigger warnings if you're looking into possibly reading this book.
