????????????

very atmospheric, but that’s about all i got from this book. reading bunny was like having my brain pulled out of my head and wrung out. maybe i just ~didn’t get it~ but i REALLY did not get it. 

overly flowery(?)/metaphorical(?)/confusing(?) (idk what word i wanna use, maybe that’s because Mona Awad stole all of them and put em in her book). 

it just seems like the book wants the reader to think “wow! what an intelligent book and how intelligent am i for reading it,” sacrificing comprehensibility for it. i’m not saying books need to spoonfeed their readers because i hate THAT too but i could have done with like 2% more explanation / clarity. reading this book felt like watching a movie with a (veryy lovely) silk scarf over my eyes.

"Can I just say I loved living in your lines and that's where I want to live now forever?"

Okay so I tried to not like this book, but I just really did. I loved descending into insanity with the characters, I loved questioning reality, I loved being transported into someone else's imagination - the author's and the main character's. 
To me this was about love, about loneliness, and about acceptance. Sometimes the world can make us feel like we're going insane - that we're insane in a world of the sane, or that we're the sane in a world of the insane.

The more I think about it, the more I love this novel. I want to write a book like this.

I don't know what's going on. I don't think I understand this one. Like... at all.

What kind of a fever dream was that, Bunny?

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

This book was a trip but I loved it. Yes, it was confusing at times. Yes, it felt like a fever dream. And yes, even though I figured out some of the twists before they happened, I am still at a bit of a loss how to describe this book.
