GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK
"The Change is like a guttural rage scream (and somehow a soft, tearful hug) of a book, and I couldn't have loved it any more." --Emily Henry
Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick--a gloriously entertaining and knife-sharp revenge fantasy about three women whose midlife crisis brings unexpected new powers--putting them on a collision course with the evil that lurks in their wealthy beach town.
"A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it with all my broken heart. Read it. You'll love it."--New York Times bestselling author Marian Keyes
"Miller triumphs...THE CHANGE is that rare treat: a suspenseful story with great pacing, memorable characters, and an engaging voice. Fantastic in every way, this fierce anthem against misogyny is a smash."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A pointed, punchy, and potent thriller...wry and clever, serious and exacting, and masterfully suspenseful."--Booklist (starred review)
In the Long Island oceanfront community of Mattauk, three different women discover that midlife changes bring a whole new type of empowerment...
After Nessa James's husband dies and her twin daughters leave for college, she's left all alone in a trim white house not far from the ocean. In the quiet of her late forties, the former nurse begins to hear voices. It doesn't take long for Nessa to realize that the voices calling out to her belong to the dead--a gift she's inherited from her grandmother, which comes with special responsibilities.
On the cusp of 50, suave advertising director Harriett Osborne has just witnessed the implosion of her lucrative career and her marriage. She hasn't left her house in months, and from the outside, it appears as if she and her garden have both gone to seed. But Harriett's life is far from over--in fact, she's undergone a stunning and very welcome metamorphosis.
Ambitious former executive Jo Levison has spent thirty long years at war with her body. The free-floating rage and hot flashes that arrive with the beginning of menopause feel like the very last straw--until she realizes she has the ability to channel them, and finally comes into her power.
Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio of women discover a teenage girl whose body was abandoned beside a remote beach. The police have written the victim off as a drug-addicted sex worker, but the women refuse to buy into the official narrative. Their investigation into the girl's murder leads to more bodies, and to the town's most exclusive and isolated enclave, a world of stupendous wealth where the rules don't apply. With their newfound powers, Jo, Nessa, and Harriett will take matters into their own hands...

This book was nothing like I expected. I’m not really sure what I was expecting but I’m so glad I read it. This book had magic, romance, girl power, and mystery. It’s about three woman who come into their powers, and combine forces to solve a mystery. But there’s so much more to this. It’s about women coming together, supporting one another, and revenge.It also talks about how sometimes the criminal system is broken. How it fails and how it leans more towards a certain social class. I loved discussing this book with my Bookclub. We all had different views and different interpretations. I really enjoyed how different this book was to anything I’ve ever read.
This was THE BEST book I have ever read and many friends agree!!!!
Another good book by Kristen Miller. This is the second one of hers that I’ve read. It’s about three women discovering what their lives will be like with the help of each other.Finding new powers that have laid hidden or dormant until certain events happen and they’re put to use. I have definitely become a fan of Kiersten Miller’s writing style. I hesitate to say too much about this book because everyone’s reading style is also different. But if you read The Women of Wild Hill, you’re certainly going to enjoy The Change.
Decent
I read "The Change," for a book club. I hadn't heard about this book, or read anything by Kristen Miller before. I am glad that I was I introduced to both. I think that FINALLY I have actually read a book with 'witches' as the main characters that makes sense in the context of what a witch was suggested to be . Because witches are supposed women who stir up trouble, declare their female rights, and aren't afraid to embrace what (men) have been saying were their weakness, but in that embrace they find those differences to be their strengths. I highly recommend this book.
