A beautiful book, who reflect quite admirably the experiences of middle-aged women. Some parts are quite horrifying, although it sadly depict nothing but reality (apart from some magic powers we wish we had), and others are powerful, adorable, funny, heartwarming and satisfying. The characters are incredibly well-written, and the story don't miss a beat.

This is revenge porn with magic! I love how the women embrace their powers after menopause, when society says that women lose their value. There is a lot of pain and sadness in this book, but there is also payment, justice, and revenge.
It is very well crafted, I have no complaints about the writing.

i absolutely LOVED this book. from the empowering messages to the relatable sorrows and the sprinkles of humor. i enjoyed it so much an e-book, but found it to be so layered and littered with important messages that i’m still going to buy a physical copy to reread and annotate.
i’d recommend this book to anyone but especially any women/AFAB people out there who know the daily struggles we face in every facet of life. these were some very inspiring, kick-ass characters and a story i’ll hold dear to my heart
