The Change: A Novel

An Amazon Best Book of May 2022: For every woman who’s ever been ignored, underestimated, or talked over, you need to read The Change . Described as “ Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick ,” with, we think, a tiny pinch of The First Wives Club thrown in for good measure, this epic, boo-yah revenge fantasy centers on three woman “of a certain age” who find that while their estrogen may be declining, the other “gifts” that arrived with menopause are surging, giving them the kind of super powers that can take on whoever is killing young women in their affluent neighborhood. Have your highlighter finger ready, because Miller has packed this novel with the kind of pithy, quotable, laugh-out-loud zingers that belong on fridge magnets everywhere. To misquote Dylan, The Change is gonna come, and evil better be ready. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor "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 — #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry “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) “The novel takes on serious issues but doesn’t take itself too seriously; there’s plenty of mordant humor, a suspenseful plot, and mostly brisk pacing. Crime fiction, superpower fantasy, and sharp satire about sexism and ageism mesh for a satisfying read.” — Kirkus Reviews "A delicious fantasy full of righteous rage, thorny entanglements, powerful sisterhood, and (wink, nudge) herbal remedies. Forget the teen dabblers of The Craft , or the lovelorn witches of Practical Magic : Joe, Nessa, and Harriet are the dynamic coven that angry feminist dreams are made of, here to remind us that everything gets better with age and experience— especially revenge." — Kat Rosenfield, author of No One Will Miss Her “Searing and witty and full of so much warranted rage. This was a book I didn’t know I was aching for. I cheered on every page.” — Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows and Small Favors "A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it with all my broken heart. Read it. You’ll love it." — Marian Keyes, New York Times bestselling author "There is a specter haunting women - the specter of rage. Kirsten Miller has woven a fun, gripping, lush, real fable, a Stepford Wives for the twenty-first century, a Witches of Eastwick if it had actually been written by a woman. THE CHANGE is poisonous as henbane, and twice as delicious." — Katherine Howe, New York Times bestselling author Kirsten Miller is a groundbreaking feminist author in YA literature, best known for her popular Kiki Strike series. In addition to writing novels, Kirsten spent twenty-five years as a strategist in the advertising industry. During that time she worked for some of the largest agencies in the world, as well as boutique agencies and an eight-person start up. She’s proud to have quit at least two of those jobs over ads and incidents described in The Change. Read more
