The Change by Kirsten Miller

5.0

“Anger's like rocket fuel. Either it pushes you forward or it burns you alive. "

The Change follows three women that discover more than the expected in their midlife changes. With these changes brings power to the women to bring justice to victims that are written off by the authorities and to right despicable acts that would be otherwise swept under the rug.

I went into The Change for the thriller and the murder, but loved it for the feminine power, the neighborhood messy gossip, the absolute thrill of seeing the wrongs of the world being righted, even if only at a small scope. Hariett came out as a show stealer for me. Regardless, I still loved the back and forth point of view of each woman and did not think that any of them dragged, a common problem for me with multiple perspectives.

The Change delivers the revenge we have all considered when questioned "what would you do if you had magical powers?"

Fantasy might by my one true love, but the social commentary added to it skyrocketed The Change into my top books of 2022.
