Well this was a RIDE 😂 I wasn’t expecting all of these adventures with Mona.
Mr. Disgusting really did her dirty, BUT in saying that I had a lot of love for him 🥲Being a recovering drug addict must be dehabilitiating. Not having had that experience before, I can only imagine the worst…
I also loved Yoko and Yoko (Nigel and Shiori); love like that really does exist I guess 😂 Looking into the sunset with your loved one also sounds like a dream 🙂↔️
Betty and John brought out an intriguing reaction in me. As I’m noticing my own attachments, I could tell this one was toxic, yet a tiny voice in my head kept saying ‘How complex and interesting though! Where will this go!’ 😳
(I’m going to go work through that I suppose 😅)
Mona’s daddy issues also got me tripping. What the fuck was up with Mickey!
Overall, 4 out of 5 stars for me thank you ✨ I will include content warnings below!

Her trauma, her mental illnesses, her addiction to toxic and weird people.. this book was wild. I love that the cover resembles a bunny- as in for s*x toys.
