this was an Insane book. very captivating, quite interesting for a book about really mundane stuff but every character felt incredibly alive and there were about 3 moments in this book which genuinely made me stop because the way they were introduced was both so sudden whilst also being sensitive. the main one was undoubtedly mr golan and elly because it was never something explicitly said but you could read what happened to her in every line , and then with the focus being on jenny penny’s hair and her lateness and her letter to elly later on explaining that it was never her hair? really masterfully done, a really impressive tackling of these awful events in a way that makes it super powerful to read without it being explicit or ott. that being said some of thr plot points, specifically bringing 9/11 into it were a bit….. hm. i enjoyed this book but my god did it boggle the mind

Though this book had an interesting premise, I feel as though it was poorly executed, overly-packed full of content that made for a bit of a mess of storylines, and seemed almost too fantastical, not for the magical realism of the rabbit, but for the family.
