3.75 stars for me.

There were parts of this book that I really loved: the friendships, the magic interwoven throughout the story, the female comradrie and the suspense. I didn't love the misandrist perspective strongly present throughout the whole story. The idea that ALL men are like the Epstein-esque monsters in the book, was too much for me and I couldn't get past it. I did enjoy the audiobook, January LaVoy did an incredible job narrating this story.

4.5

A beautiful book, who reflect quite admirably the experiences of middle-aged women. Some parts are quite horrifying, although it sadly depict nothing but reality (apart from some magic powers we wish we had), and others are powerful, adorable, funny, heartwarming and satisfying. The characters are incredibly well-written, and the story don't miss a beat.
