4.25

In the first half of the book, I was annoyed by the whiny, gloomy, and passive main character. The writing felt like that of an angry teenager, it was all a little too smutty for my tastes, and I wasn’t expecting much. But halfway through, the book turned into a deliciously weird story that I could barely put down.

I feel like all the things that annoy me about the book were deliberate. But I’m not sure. I feel utterly manipulated by this book. Is it good writing? Is it bad writing? Is it Awad’s writing? Or the character’s? Awad plays with her language in a very smart way to drag you into the mindset of her main character.

The book is still a little too gloomy, not-like-the-other-girls, smutty to the point of sexual frustration, and edgy for me. But maybe that was part of the experience. 4/5 bunnies from me.

Recommended if you are okay with feeling detached and confused after reading this book. Side note: I am definitely never looking at bunnies the same way.
