wow. just wow. this is the first mona awad novel i’ve read and i was not disappointed. it’s gory and absurd and downright disturbing. i loved it. i never had any clue what was going to happen next, and i was always pleasantly surprised at what she had in store. there was so much symbolism and so many metaphors and i’m sure i didn’t even catch them all. the characters were so full-fledged and yet so empty? since we were seeing everyone and everything through samantha’s eyes, there was this veil of blissful ignorance draped over everything. i would have loved to get a peek into what the bunnies saw. 

my favorite part of the whole book has to be max’s whole “performance piece” with the bunnies in the cave. watching their perfect, carefully curated, fake identities collapse was so satisfying and mildly humorous.

I found this book very tense, disturbing & at times, confusing. I understand where the author was trying to go with it, however I feel that it fell a bit short of that.

I don’t know if I can explain anything about this book. I’m not really sure I understood it. However! It is very well written and I was fascinated by the premise. I would recommend this book for people who are into darker books or books about being a woman in your 20s.

Half wondering if the contents change with the reader. Some of this was too specific!
