Clueless meets Mean Girls meets a really bad trip, I could not put this down. Compulsive, claustrophobic, compelling and downright bizarre. I loved it.

Firstly, I want to say I absolutely adored the writing and the prose. It was so interesting and conveyed the story and nature of the content well, and I'd be interested in reading more from Mona Awad if not for this alone.
The thing about this book that confused me in regards to what I think about it was the plotline and ending. I had absolute NO idea what to expect from this going in, which I think was a good thing. It meant the start was really intriguing and I wanted to read more to learn what was going on and WHY it was all going on... and I think that's where it fell flat a little for me. Whilst we did get some clarity on what was happening at the end of the book, I wanted more of a resolution from it, particulalry more on WHY things happened and why Samantha.
I think the pacing of the book fell away about two thirds in, particulalry because I still didn't have much idea as to what was going on and why and felt like I should have at least had a little bit of information fed to me as a reader at that point. The conflict between the Bunnies also felt a little out of place and didn't seem, to me, to fit with the rest of the story.
This is a really interesting book because the premise was so intriguing, I enjoyed the writing and had a relatively good time for the most part, I think I just wanted more from the resolution. It's obviously a polarising book, so if the premise intrigues you then it's probably worth a read to see what you think.
