It was interesting but only fine. SO much of the book focused on motherhood which made me check out about halfway through. Although the second half spends a good bit of time talking about gender essentialism, there was still a great deal of discussion on the more ~divine feminine~ aspect of Ecofeminism (thus still being reductionist and essentialist bc the author did not counter any points). I was also hoping for a more expansive view of WHO witches were and the focus was mostly on unwed, childless cis women. There was barely discussion on sexuality and NONE on gender.
Overall, it was fine but not something I would revisit (nor was it different from similar books on the same topic).

Nothing special, but definitely not as good or gripping as her other works. 

One of my favorite books from this year! If you’re queer, grew up in the 2000s, and are obsessed with pop culture, this book is for you. I already want more.
If you’re a fan of The 2000s Made Me Gay, you’ll love this.

Everything you’d want out of a book about final girls. I loved the connection to the actual Final Girls in movies and how they fit into this universe. I hope there’s a shorty sequel only to continue the trope.

I wish there was a bigger portion dedicated to why we gather and why it’s important. The author did talk about these aspects, but in a how-to way and not a this-is-human way

One of the best books I have ever read. I don’t even know what to say other than I get this in my soul and bones

More of a memoir than a story about how women are monsters in society. It also felt very ~white feminism~ despite a mention of extra challenges faced by nonwhite women. It also took the author until basically the end of the book to even mention (and define) Intersectionality. 
I was hoping for essays more surrounding how women are shaped into monsters/how monsters were symbols for women/the women monsters themselves but it ended up being more memoir and shallow analysis of *Greek* monsters. 

It felt like a more real life version of Sorry to Bother You - like almost exactly. It was a good story but because of how similar it was to the movie, I kept thinking or wishing for something big and crazy to happen. A fun read but probably would have been better if you didn’t see the movie.
