I did love the sisterhood and diversity aspect. It was nice to have ederly female leads.
Some parts were too cringy or too "forced" for me and take me out of the story 
I almost dnf at some point but at the end it was a nice book to read.

An easy and inclusive read. The youngest character and her lingo felt very forced, but the rest of the cast were all loveable and the main story was interesting enough to keep it moving.

Couldn't get into the story. Too campy for my liking 😞

You had me at "Five octogenarian witches." Then I actually started reading the book and the first scene cemented the fact that I was hooked! Then I learned that to avoid future witch hunts, the witches dosed their moonshine with something that kept the townsmen calm. I'm telling you this book kept getting better and better.

I don't want to spoil the plot, but I'll leave you with this: The book features a dog named Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a monkey very appropriately named Klepto.
