Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
Did not finish book.
I unfortunately had to DNF this book 50% in.
I went into this expecting more magic and witchcraft than what we actually got. The beginning was super slow and I just felt like it was dragging a little bit. Albeit it was good to get to know the characters and learn more about them, I didn't actually connect with any of them, and therefore did struggle to care somewhat. It's horrendous what they're going through and I felt so sorry for them but otherwise, I just wasn't invested unfortunately.
I did also struggle massively with the body horror in this. I probably should have expected it, with it being a book about pregnant girls but it truly turned my stomach just a little bit too much. Which is obviously a me problem not the books. And I suddenly realised it was probably only going to get worse once we got more into the girls giving birth, etc. So I've made the decision for my own sanity and mental health to dnf this one.
