I’ve never heard of the pocketbook era I’ll have to look into it. My local library is terrible with Libby — wonder if it’s compatible with BorrowBox 🤔

That’s what i originally did (posted it on IG) and copy and pasted each paragraph into separate parts here. Lot of effort posting full review here 😖

Pt.7: This is my favourite Grady Hendrix book to date. I didn’t realise how invested I had become with the book until the last twenty pages, and I actually found myself shedding a tear of happiness for how it all ended which is why I felt like this deserved a 5 star rating.

Pt.6: I loved the witchcraft element. I find Hendrix can go from 0-100 with his supernatural parts of his books very quickly but they are tastefully done here that we are not too far removed from the reality of the world. I found Hagar and Miriam were great anchors for bringing us back to Earth.

Part 5: The routines of the Home are quickly established and we learn how things work there on a daily basis. While we don’t get too much on any given character, we get enough to know their personalities and what makes them tick.

Part 4: I was invested in our MC, Fern from the very beginning. While we didn’t get too much of her story from before she arrives at the Home, we’re very much given the opportunity to learn what’s going on as she also learns what’s happening.

Part 3: In saying that, it is very important to point out it is clear that Mr Hendrix did his homework for this book as it comes across very educated. I couldn’t get over how detailed this book was when it came to the girls and what they were going through at different points of their pregnancies.

Part 2: There are also THREE very graphic delivery scenes, one of them more disturbing than the others. If you are in any way sensitive to this subject I recommend you not read this book as I know it’s a heavy subject for a lot of people.
