I was so deeply disturbed by this book I had to listen to the last hour of the book on 2.5x speed when usually I listen at 1.15x-1.35x. 

I usually don't "yuck someone's yum", but I don't understand how someone could enjoy this book. This read like an R rated Lifetime horror movie mixed with the cheese of the Disney Channel Original movie Smart House (Smart Demon Nana?? lol). The characters were so naïve I couldn't even fathom the story to begin with. I think there are much better books out there exploring ageism and gender inequality. I read this for an online book club and I am genuinely curious if this will be a hit for anyone. I honestly should've stopped reading it at multiple points because nooooooooot my cup of tea!
