I stumbled upon this book by accident and fell in love. The heart pounding way this book makes you want to fight for every woman around is insane. It's terrifying in ways I can't imagine a man knowing. Props to this male writer for capturing something so vulnerable about the AFAB experience.

If there was not a male name as the author on the book cover, I could have believed this story was written by a woman. There are mainly female, bold characters in this feminist story, guys and the world itself are the bad ones here. It's a story about witchcraft, and friendship and coming-of-age. The girls explore witchcraft as a medium to fight for their own rights. As underage youth, the home will not let them any rights over their body or the future of their babies. Abortion will not be discussed. Instead, the young girls serve as a baby factory for childless couples who are eager to adopt a baby. There are explicit scenes about childbirth. If you have not experienced childbirth, you might be traumatized after it. I would not recommend this book for pregnant women who are pregnant for the first time. Some scenes might be disturbing. Ferns development throughout the story is very impressive. At first, she only wants to get good grades and wants to get home. Then she stands up for herself. I liked her a lot. Each of the girls have to carry her own package, but together, they are stronger. The ending is really epic. A great horror book, brilliantly written.
