I liked this book as it was funny, mostly lighthearted, and the widows were the best part. I was sort of expecting the book to be more about the struggle to blend their culture with the new society they were in, but the book only lightly touches this.
The widows are a well-rounded group with distinctive personalities that were so fun to read about. Their spicy stories as mentioned in the title don’t hold back. It is full beginning to end stories filled with sugar, spice, and everything nice. I was not expecting that. I know, again the title, but I thought it would be more like they are trying to write these stories not that there would be full stories within this one. Honestly, I would not say no to this author just writing a version for this book that were just these stories.
Why the book isn’t higher rated for me is that it the cultural divide and feminist topic by showing mainly bad male figures. There is no nuance to this. I wish there was more discussion with the widows in the book about these things to give life to the discussion and make it less one-sided.
