This book is what Bunny should have been IMO - gross, dark and twisted but not in a weird, abstract/metaphorical way. On one hand, I like how this book does not shy away from making you uncomfortable to prove its point. On the other hand, I can’t say I enjoyed reading it…good but definitely not for everyone.

Don't get fooled by the cute little hedgehog plush on the cover, please read the trigger warnings before reading this book, and make sure you are ready (especially mentally) for all the explicit content and crazy scenes

This book is much darker and more disturbing than the cover or description might have you believe. Mind the trigger warnings mentioned by other reviewers.
