I am not sure what just happened. Read All's Well in this year which was phenomenal. I was not expecting this book to be so insane from the start. Will need weeks to mull this one over

First of all, I wasn’t sure what I was going into when I picked up this book. Not my cup of tea in terms of the genre, but I wanted to give it a fair shot so I read until the end. I found that the writing style was very immature. To me, it sounded like something I would’ve read in high school. But the content was disturbing.

I didnt feel like the end was satisfying, though it felt like it was supposed to be a closed ending with the scene where Max attacks the Bunnies. It didn’t feel like there was a smooth transition (or any transition for that matter) between Samantha coming out of the trance-like state and going back to Ava.

It felt rushed but drawn out at the same time. I think the length of the book was enough to do a better job of building up the characters and the plot. I wouldn’t recommend it personally, even putting aside my distaste for the plot, due to the writing style.

I really enjoyed this book especially since the story always keeps you on the edge of your seat because you never know what is going to happen next. I love love love the author's writing style, the character descriptions at the beginning of the book had me read five times in a row just because I loved the images they painted.

What I kind of disliked, however, is how the story unfolds. The first two parts focus on the bunnies and their strange disturbing workshops and how Samantha gets involved in it and I think I would have lovet it more if it kept focussing on that and go more into depth with that. I was still intrigued in the whole thing with Ava and Max and stuff but I kind of feel like the other story line got pushed to the back too much too soon. I also feel like it would have been better to have gained some more explanation about well anything up until the end.

It's a weird one man! Some of the writing can come off as pretentious and took me out of it at moments. But it is a book about graduate level writing students, so a little pretension is expected. I enjoyed the plot and the complicated main character. I was confused for a bit about where the plot was going. It is quite fast-paced, but also really mysterious and it's written in a way that is more metaphorical than straightforward. I was surprised by some pieces at the end. I also really liked the ending. I can see you liking this is you are a fan of Ottessa Moshfegh or even if you liked Y/N by Esther Yi.
