The Change

Real adult magic... how refreshing! In a mystery thriller that wasn't completely exasperating... Impossibly rare. Although the killers weren't a mystery, it was the journey of these incredible female characters converging and coming into their power that was compelling. The feminist agenda is strong in this one... like constantly in your face and bashing you over your head with it, but with such truth and comprehensiveness that forces you to face how other books placate and skirt around it. For a book that is so poignant and tackles such a dark subject it also manages to remain an easy read with humor, relatability, and a certain lightness that leaves an unlikely taste of optimism for a better world lingering.
