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 don't feel like this book was for me.

I had to keep reminding myself that it was set in a university and not a high school campus, that the characters were grown adults and not wildly troubled teenagers. Everything just felt a little off, which was mayve intentional but left me unable to click with the story or writing.

But, I'm also conflicted as I listened to the audio book version and found myself having to play it at double speed so as not to fall asleep from boredom with the way it was read. So, I'm unsure if I may have enjoyed the book more had I read a physical copy.

Either way, an interesting book and premise, scary and challenging but not for me.

This was a lot of fun. I don’t know if this book has a deeper meaning, I just took it at face value and enjoyed the weirdness.

I am flabbergasted. this book was a fever dream that I feel fucked my head up in the best way? idk I have so many questions and that alone makes it a brilliant book. Did I have absolutely no fucking idea what was happening the entire time? affirmative. go in this blindly, or read about it before I have no clue because: I spoiled the book to myself before I read it and I still have NO BLOODY CLUE what happened. my theory is I just know this book got me drunk on Melanie martinez and Lana Del Rey.

This book is so wild and is the kind of book I wish I had read in a book club so that I could talk to someone about it. The first half was super captivating and unsettling, feeling kind of like Get Out, Midsommar, and Heathers. The second half was not as great but it's still one of my favorite books I've read this year.
