Watch What She Can Do by Nicole Brooks delves into the life of Wilhelmina "Willie" Copeland, a sixty-three-year-old woman who reaches breaking point with her husband, Stan. Fed up with his laziness and lack of respect and appreciation, Willie finds herself longing for a change. Despite her efforts to maintain composure during Stan's heart attack, she grapples with the decision not to call 911. With Stan now gone, Willie eagerly embraces the opportunity for a long-awaited trip to Vancouver Island, her best friend Roxanne's hometown. Initially, the journey offers solace and rejuvenation, but familial tensions and suspicions soon emerge, especially ones involving her son, Jonathan, casting shadows over her newfound freedom. As Willie confronts her past and present, it becomes apparent that the men in her family share common traits, adding another layer of complexity to her journey.
Watch What She Can Do captivates readers from the outset, immersing them in Willie's no-nonsense perspective and the vivid imagery that brings her emotions to life. Nicole Brooks skillfully navigates themes of feminism, making the book accessible to both advocates and newcomers to the movement. Despite its upfront approach, the narrative strikes a delicate balance, engaging readers without overwhelming them. Willie emerges as a resilient symbol of modern womanhood, navigating oppression with unwavering determination. The bond between Willie and Roxanne serves as a source of inspiration, infusing warmth and positivity into the story. Brooks' flawless characterization and nuanced pacing ensure a compelling read that evolves organically, drawing readers deeper into Willie's world with each turn of the page.
