This was a wild read for sure.

I was intrigued and enjoyed reading a few chapters each day to see what literary insanity was waiting for me.

The concept - I love. Any chance to see a fanciful depiction of female rage, I’m up for it. And to see a focus on an aging woman, coping with societal invisibility? Even better.

But there were a few things that fell apart for me.

So many things were part of the backstory of the “events” (supernatural, ghosts, reincarnation, mythology) but then seemed to be flippantly excused away toward the end (or some of them were??) 

 Ugh, poor Nancy - I feel most for her. And I could do without a wisecrack from Nadine for a long time 🫠

I also took issue with the theme of menopause/aging as a woman - it just didn’t land with me as well as I think it could have. I believe authors should write about whatever they want, but I do feel like the authenticity and conviction might have been stronger if the book had been authored by a woman 🤷‍♀️ 

Still, a decent horror read that kept me engaged!
