This was a witty but actually very thoughtful look at women’s place in society and the expectations placed on them and also bullying which is something that cuts deep with protagonist Nell. This does also look at how rage can affect middle aged women and how to deal with it which produces some humorous moments and a lighthearted read overall but the topics are very real and Nell is a fabulous main character. It was interesting to see how work colleagues knew so little about each other and see how honest and supportive they could be in the safe environment of the rage room. I found this easy to read but have to admit the depth of this was unexpected but very welcome as the characters each dealt with their own issues and looked the overall fun and warmth of the book.

Well, what can I say. I didn’t know what to expect with this book but I really enjoyed it! Made me laugh and cry and understand my current time of life! A well written and rounded book!

Fabulous and furious is totally relatable read for a middle aged woman who is menopausal just like myself!
Nell has championed the menopausal woman doing what most of us think of doing but don’t carry out! Her outspoken rants are what we might all think but aren’t brave enough to voice it was hilarious enlightening and realistic and really demonstrated the hormonal shift that we experience.
Loved the idea of the Rage room and the idea of a safe space to vent and how it led into the tent a rant safe space for women supporting women fuelled by biscuits, camaraderie and genuine support as only women can do showcasing the genuine fragility, strength and power of women supporting women no matter what is thrown at them!
Thank you NetGalley for this early read

Nell is a 55 year old granny who has rage issues. She decides to form a 'rant room' for her and her female colleagues from work and together they find out much more than they had planned about one another as they vent their frustrations. This is a fabulous story of friendship and the issues that women face, whatever their age.

I really enjoyed the book and characters. I will read anything Harper Ford writes as she perfectly captures how women feel! And I loved the side of spice too!

This was a great book, especially for anyone going through perimenopause. I loved the central concept of women embracing their rage, finding their voices, and standing up for themselves and each other.

The portrayal of bullying was particularly well done, showing not only the immediate impact but also the lasting effects it can have years later. I really liked the main characters and enjoyed watching them grow and develop throughout the story.

Although it tackles some serious themes, the book also manages to be genuinely funny, making it an empowering and engaging read. I would definitely recommend it.
