A Special Place for Women

Predictable and flat. It felt more like a creative writing exercise for a teenager than a true published author's work.

Jillian, the main character, was at times so naive that you would justified in thinking she was ten, like with Raf (I mean, we had no more information than Jillian and if you couldn't tell that he loved her from page like two of the book, I don't know what you were reading). And she kept saying that Miles was not great because of their interactions... as if she wasn't a willing participant.

And then the “twist”, where the women were actually practicing witchcraft. Well, duh. When the cover tells you that it's going to have a twist and they make jokes about witchcraft... hmm, I wonder?

The worst thing is that it had promise, but the characters were all caricatures of tropes. If the author would have leaned a little more into that, then it could have reached satire, but as it was, no.
