👵 All the millennial grandmas have been NAPPING on this fun little book. I mean, keep napping -- live your best life. But this pocket-sized book made a really tough week a little bit brighter. Gosh, am I thankful for that.
📚 This is a series of cozy mysteries about an 88 year old woman named Maud. She is your typical internally-driven older woman who is sick of everybody's shit... oh, and also a serial killer.
It's a simple and quick read of short stories. Maud's background in each of the individual stories has some minor inconsistencies, so the close reader will see these (and potentially be bothered). For me, the silly energy of the stories and Maud's constant manipulation of other people's misconceptions of lifespan development was MORE than enough to make-up for whether Maud has been to a spa or not. 💁♀️
