A review by kdickerson38
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix

dark emotional funny inspiring mysterious medium-paced

5.0

Set in the 50s and centered around unwed, teenage mothers and witchcraft; themes: pregnancy/childbirth, friendship, resilience, and societal judgements; angsty, bleak, heartbreaking, horrific, gruesome, and tragic, but also beautiful, powerful, and inspiring; amazing character development; Hendrix obviously did his research well; loved all the real world references from the 50s too; a masterfully written, impactful, and engaging story that made me cry at the end.

⚠️ Trigger warnings: child molestation, forced adoption, graphic childbirth, gore

Special thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and Netgalley for a DRC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
