This book has me SO EXCITED to go through menopause yall have no idea.

The Change by Kirsten Miller is absolutely brimming with bad ass 45y/o-and-over women doing what needs to be done and apologizing to no one for it. I was completely invested in the characters from the first chapter and could not wait to see where it went. The ending was as satisfying as I could have asked for!!
I really, really hope I am half as amazing of a mother as Jo was throughout this book. Or, you know what? Maybe I'll run away to be the green witch I've always been destined to be like Harriett.

I wholeheartedly loved this novel and its absolutely going to be my go-to recommendation for older women who like thrillers. How empowering to finally have a book with bad ass experienced women rather than whiny twenty year olds.

My singular gripe is that this book, like many others, should have contained a small trigger warning blurb at the start. While I expected this book to be dark, it was much more harrowing than the description led me to believe. There is a recurrent theme of the serial rape of underaged girls.

I gave this book 5 stars on my Goodreads. Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an e-copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Change is brilliantly plotted and perfectly executed. The characters are strong, the writing is lyrical, and the pacing is pitch perfect. Out of the 200ish books I’ve read in 2021, this was my favorite, hands-down.

Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of any type of fantasy or genres of that type. However, this book pulled me in and would not let me go. I inhaled this book despite the witches and paranormal activities. This book defies a genre and is a joy to read. I think we all want a little bit of Harriet in our personalities.

At its core, this book is basically about friendship. A group of friends creates a brilliant revenge plot. Yes the story is also great but it also rest upon the characters that are brilliantly depicted. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book.

This book is going to be the book of the year. A great setting and a dynamic group of women looking for revenge. I was immediately taken in and enthralled by this book. I think most readers are absolutely going to enjoy reading about this. I don’t want to give too much away but this book is a winner.
