⭐️/5

Girl what are you talking about!? .

This was recommended as the first book for my book club, so I gave it a try, but honestly, it was so
unenjoyable I almost quit the club. Everyone in my book club struggled to get through it too.

-It gave : “I have my PHD, so I'm so smart , but what can make me smarter? Doing shrooms and writing a book on how women are like wolves.”

-The author seemed to insert herself too much and was overly poetic; using mystical language that just didn’t land.
-The comparisons to animals didn’t work, and instead of feeling empowering, it came across as extreme and confusing.

*It was like someone telling a joke and then explaining why it was funny because no one laughed. Just didn’t hit the mark.*
