Going through "the change" isn't easy on any woman. Mood swings, hot flashes, hormonal imbalances, and itchy skin are par for the course. But for these four seemingly unrelated women, menopause brought changes none of them had ever anticipated-super-heroic changes. Helen discovers a spark within that reignites her fire. Jessica finds that her mood is lighter, and so is her body. Patricia always had a tough hide, but now even bullets bounce off her. Linda doesn't have trouble opening the pickle jar anymore...now that she's a man. When events throw the women together, they find out that they have more in common than they knew-one person has touched all their lives. The hunt for answers is on.

A Comic Book without Pictures

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this for a local book club and found the initial premise to be interesting. Four older women develop superpowers instead of the well-worn trope of say teenagers or children. I like the basic premise but the story and writing didn't quite land for me.

The setup is okay and it takes a little while for the women to develop and become used to their powers, which didn't really keep me interested. It isn't until the middle of the book where the actual conflict comes to light and that is where I started to really pay attention. Unfortunately the stakes lag and no one ever really seems to be in any real danger the closer we get to the climax, so I couldn't find myself really caring too much about the characters. I feel like it is a "mostly-complete" story, but it does end on a cliffhanger which irks me. I want a complete story in my books. If it's part of a larger narrative that's fine, but at least give me a beginning, middle and end with book 1. This book has an "end-ish".

I think the other issue I had was it often seemed like the author wasn't sure what she wanted to happen. Often the characters don't know what they're doing, plans are never thought out and there seemed to be no real arc to the story. It was as if the author was writing and just hoping to think of something to move the plot along. It was entertaining for the most part, but I won't be continuing on with the sequels.

It Coulda Been a Contender

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book was a fairly entertaining fast read, but it wasn't quite what I expected. The whole premise cried out for more humor, which would have made it much more enjoyable. Sure, there was a tad, but the story leaned much more toward the science fiction side than it did the funny laugh-out-loud romp I was hoping to read.

Still? The idea of menopausal women gaining super powers is inherently funny. I mean, why NOT harness those annoying hot flashes, and turn them into fireballs a gal can throw around? And why suffer from bloating and belching when a saggy old broad can finally put all that gas to good use by using it to defy gravity? I mean, just think of all the money and aggravation a gal could save if she were able to fly wherever she wanted without having to be strapped into an airplane in front of a kicking loud-mouthed kid... or having to wait in those interminable airport lines? And itchy skin? What the heck; why not just be done with it and develop bullet-proof scales and plates? You never can tell when that might come in handy. The fourth member of our menopausal quartet has a slightly different change. She no longer has to ask her husband for help opening a pickle jar. Or for help reaching something on the top shelf... or moving heavy furniture. See, the change makes her much taller, beefier, and endows her with super strength, a deeper voice and LOTS of facial hair. It has also endowed her with a... penis.

See? Lots of untapped potential there for laughs.

However, even though the book disappointed me for its lack of humor, it was still a somewhat enjoyable read. It was definitely DIFFERENT. One downside for me that it's a (gasp!) cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers, because they don't provide a satisfactory ending. They're just jumping boards to coerce readers into buying and reading the next book in the series. Series, I can handle. Cliffhangers are just plain annoying and manipulative.

That being said, I will more than likely read the second book in this series. I'm hopeful that there will be more humor in it. If not, I'm still willing to give it a chance. I mean, how often do you get to read about old gal superheroes?

Good read for comic fans

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Even though I was expecting a comedy about women suffering through menopause, I found this book to be a quick and fun read. The characters are really well developed and well written with a good plot and some twists that keep your interest. I did enjoy reading this book, but even with all that it has going for it, it's not really my type of book so I'm on the fence on if I want to continue reading the series. But this is definitely a book worth checking out if you're in to superheroes, super powers, villains and all the other components that make comic books so much fun to read.

I liked most of the characters - Helen and Dr. Liu are great villains! - but I found that Linda/Leonel was the one that held the other ladies together. She's a strong character that I think most readers can relate to and like instantly. Jessica and Patricia are good characters in their own right, but they took some getting used to. The idea that Dr. Liu's products are the reason for each woman's transformation is a fun twist to the storyline. The book bounces between each woman as she struggles with her newfound abilities, but it is not distracting like it would seem. Having a chapter dedicated to each woman allows you a better perspective of each of them.

Overall, this is a good book that I think many women would enjoy.

The book has no ending. It is like reading a book and in the middle of the climax of the story you turn the page and someone ripped out the last chapter. I liked the characters, especially Jessica and Linda. but this is not a TV series that you leave at a cliffhanger and wrap it up on the first program of the next year's TV season. This is a book you need an ending. It's not a timed essay question and the time is up and you have to stop writing, Finish the story. I feel as though hours spent reading were stolen from me, THERE IS NO ENDING. Will never read anything by this author again. My time is worth too much to have it stolen from me, If I could I would have given it zero stars but one is the lowest accepted.

Not the normal change.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

After reading this I think I'll stick to hormone treatment from my normal doctor, though it might be fun to Change for a couple of hours.
I liked the cast of characters, apart from Helen and the crazy scientist. The situations are a little bizarre, though fun.
The only downfall is that it is occasionally confusing when it swaps between characters, but that may not worry everyone. A good book still.

A different look at menopause!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A very strange book, kind of quirky and kind of tongue in cheek. A number of women going the the menopause take some Chinese herbal medicine from a local scientist and some very odd things happen to them. It is sort of modern Sci fi come detective story with a good dose of humour. I felt the ending was a bit unfninished though.
