The Witches are Coming
The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West 272 pages
She starts off saying, "This is a witch hunt. We're witches." This is political and the witches are on their way to the 2020 election. She discusses global warming, LBGTQ, Black Lives Matter. She talks about being a fat blonde feminist and activist. Sometimes she is funny and sometimes the topics are so serious they require their due. She cites statistics and other people's experiences as well as her own and she calls bullsh*t where she sees it. She says the truth can transform us there is witchcraft in it. I enjoyed this book very much. She calls it like she sees it and she sees it all. I would highly recommend this book to the open minded and I would not recommend it to the close minded. A very good and often funny read. Be aware she does espouse her political views
