Description
Three women who have lost themselves and one who wants to be lost spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor.
Talking about feelings is Emma’s idea of hell. Annoyingly, she’s bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she’s been in a bad mood for the last five years.
But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she’s picked the maddest one she could find.
Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her ‘dark feminine divine’.
But Clover doesn’t know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out?
Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere.

Fab read one of the best of 2025.
I didn't expect to love this book as much as i did. I got through it in 48 hours.
All 3 characters who went to the retreat are relatable, I loved every chapter and what we learnt about each womans life.
I laughed and i cried. i would definitely recommend to family and friends. Please Mollie do a sequel i want to know what happens in their next chapters.
Thanks to Netgalley

I adored this book which tells the story of Emma , fleur and maggie who all attend a retreat run by clover
Emma & Fleur and Maggie are all dealing with their own issues and came to retreat to see if these issues can be resolved these issues come out in the book
Clover also has her own issues she is trying to deal with can she solve her own issues whilst helping the other ladies
One of these issues without giving any spoilers away is close to my heart as my friend dad from not having something that is mentioned in the as they didn’t believe in it and the author has dealt with this issue in such a sensitive way
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for this honest review

Not everyone is happy talking about their feelings, or oversharing. Emma certainly isn't.
But with her daughter struggling, she needs to do something.
But she didn't think it would involve Bodmin Moor, two strangers and a pushy retreat leader called Clover...
Excellent

This story follows 3 women booked onto a wellbeing retreat to help them gain understanding on the issues in their life. There they meet Clover the retreat leader who has her own troubles from the past.
I did not expect to love this book as much as I did and was crying by the end. The stories were wholesome, relatable and so well written I completely fell for them all. The descriptions of the time at the retreat made me feel like I was going through it with them all. I loved the subtle ploy of motherhood woven into each and every narrative.
The ending is lovely and open and I feel that we were made to feel the women will be ok because of their engagement with the retreat. I appreciated that we didn’t have it all spelled out to us to tie things up.
If this is a debut novel I can’t wait to read what Mollie Kendrick does next. A big recommendation from me.
