But on a more critical note, it was excellent and I devoured it in 24 hours.
It was abstract, the prose was beautiful without being too much of anything, and the magical realism was *chefs kiss.*
Part One and Part Three were strong; Part Two was a bit too much of a drug filled haze, but it did add to the story, it was just a bit slow.
Go read it, but check the trigger warnings!!!!

wtf just happened.
si me preguntan de que se trata este libro, honestamente no sabria que decir. es mean girls meets pretty little liars meets heathers (no el musical lol), y eso hizo que me encantara.
tbh lo voy a considerar mi libro favorito. ame como la autora escribe, es tan crudo y simplemente perfecto. tr hace conectar con sam un monton y con todo lo que ella siente. lo que mas me gusto es que cuando esta con las bunnies, la narración cambia y eso hace que se note mucho mas la influencia de ellas sobre smackie.
ava y sam deserved better y me hubiera gustado ver más de max (esta parte fue genial)
una lectura perfecta para comenzar la spooky szn.
voy a ahorrar para comprarmelo en fisico porque tengo anotaciones que hacer xd

It's rare for me to finish a book in three days. To read 100 pages each day. On average, it takes me about a week to finish a book about 400 pages long. If a story's good, I'll read 40 to 50 pages daily. So, suffice to say, this book kept me interested.
I never thought I'd be able to care so much for unlikable characters. Samantha and her friend Ava are obviously flawed people. Not the type I'd want to hang around in real life, and might even actively avoid. Yet throughout the book, I still enjoyed them. I even found myself relating to Samantha to a worrying degree. And, thankfully, her flaws are directly acknowledged. Complaints I had with characterizations were relieved by that.
Then there are the Bunnies. At times, I forgot this book was a horror story. I would get comfortable with the Bunnies and think "I wish I was with them" before remembering what this book is about. Before remembering that I really wouldn't want to have to change my identity to befriend a group of girls. A few times I commented that I felt "rancid vibes" emanating from this story.
And the ending of the book. All I can say is that it makes a reread worth it.

I liked the surreal, dark atmosphere of Bunny and found that I clicked with the writing style, I do wish there was more light foreshadowing elements for later events, and for me the lack of a explanation wasn’t a deal breaker but I feel like I would give it a higher star rating if I had more of a explanation.
Character wise at the start I had a bit of a hard time settling into Samantha’s perspective I found her quite difficult to like, but as the book went on she grew on me. I found the bunnies are hard to differentiate from each other but I feel that was a intentional decision as they seen as pretty much a amalgamation rather than individuals.
Over all though I enjoyed Bunny didn’t love it
