one of the most prominent features of awad's writing is her language. her use of literary devices is skillful, and her descriptors are lush and immersive. truly, her words were almost rhythmic at times, and i loved the way the main character, samatha, is so perfectly characterized in this first person narration. in addition to the language, the climax in bunny was so visceral and wonderful. the only let down, for me, was the ending of this novel. for all this momentum, it just seemed like the storyline sputtered out at the very end. this novel is dense with metaphors, and because of this, some people might find this novel a bit hard to grasp or get through. however, if you are a lover of eloquence and complex, metaphor dense plot lines, this book is definitely worth a read.

this was a violent, wild ride! i LOVE these kinds of books but they’re really not for everyone. you have to go into it knowing that it’ll be a little fucked up and not everything will make sense and you will not get the answers by the end lol. you never quite know what’s real, whether it was

a drug induced hallucination via cult? or some type of paranoia/schizophrenia? who’s to say but i was very entertained
