4.5 stars! The premise: the peri and post-menopausal witches of Eastwick burn down Epstein Island.
If you're in the mood for some feminism and magical realism, to read about women stepping into their power and fucking shit up (that shit being, pedophiles), if you want to feel like you could also destroy the partriarchy with a band of fierce women, this one is for you.
I took off .5 stars for the long rant about menstruation which I feel in my whole soul but also felt was unnecessary to the story, honestly. I was like, this is....odd. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of my bleeding body in any way, shape, or form but that section just felt out of place.
