I dont want to spoil anything, but it was so good. Highly recommend. It was the creepy, unsettling book I wanted for spooky season. Ill be reading more of her books for sure.

This was unsettling and I loved it. I'm not sure I understand what happened but I had a good time anyway

I thought this had great twists and a unique perspective on some common themes. Definitely worth the read!

I've been a fan of Kathleen and Bikini Kill for some time, loved the idea behind “girls to the front” and Riot grrl. This book made me appreciate her even more. Learning about what she went through, how she reacted to things that happened to her and how she was able to do so much with so little rattled my conceptions. I also love her ability to hold herself and the movement she created accountable, adapting when “girls to the front” doesn't serve its purpose anymore. I loved this book.

I love Alix Harrow's writing. This book had flawed and loveable characters and the house was one of them. Definitely worth a read!

I loved her approach to creativity and encouraging the process. I thought she was real and open about her own experiences. I left this book feeling inspired to create.

Just wow. I listened to the audiobook which was read by the author and it was amazing. A great story about determination, community, new beginnings, family, and food. Highly recommend!

A must read. This changed my whole mindset around community, generosity, wealth, and what's important.

I loved this book! Noemi is such a strong, human character. It was easy to root for her. So glad it lived up to the hype.

I can say this book has changed my thoughts about consumerism and the world around me. I hope it has also changed my life forever. I will take away the concept of gratitude in all of the gifts I receive in life and to treat all of natures gifts with respect. A definite must read. This message is so important.

Loved loved loved this book. I don't want to give anything away but the bees and beekeeping are basically another character aaand you get the recipes they talk about in the book (which I always consider a plus).

This is not my typical read but I was really invested in this story. I think listening to the audio book helped a lot but I found the characters had depth and while most of the twists were pretty predictable, it didn't affect my ability to enjoy the plot.

Just ok. It got kind of gross but didn't really scare me. I love Grady Hendrix, this one just didn't hit for me.

I loved this book. It was inspiring and I related to so much of what she struggled with. She inspired me to take on my own shopping ban!

I thought the book lived up to the hype for me. It was cozy, I was invested in the characters and the romance. I loved the recipes and connected to the story. It truly was “Gilmore girls meets Practical Magic” in the ways I wanted it to be.

I loved this book. She did a great job hopping between timelines and characters in a way that made them still feel somehow connected. I got to know these characters through their own experiences and those of the other women in the story.

Great imagery, somewhat predictable but still a great read. My one major regret was only listening to this on audible. I read later that there are illustrations in the physical copy. Worth the time!

Merged review:

Good read, definitely a few twists! Nothing earth shattering but as a horror fan I appreciated the nod to the genre.

A little slow to get going, but I loved getting to know these characters better. Looking forward to reading magic lessons!

So well done so sad.

So well done so sad.

My first kind of scary book as a kid. I know I've said this before but the willingness to treat kids as whole characters and allow them to face true danger really spoke to me and inspired me to read these stories.

Heartbreaking, complicated and so good.

Parts of this book still come back to me randomly. This one leaves an impact.

Loved Sophie and the love between her and BFG. This book makes me very nostalgic.

Took my imagination places I'd never thought of. Loved this book.
