Now that I have a bit of time to think about this, I have decided to lower my rating because really the book was kind of forgettable.
To begin, the good things:
The story was fun, it was a mixture of "Midsommer," meets "Mean Girls" and it was a fairly easy read. I know a few reviews have said that it could be a bit confusing, but I think thats more to do with the authors writing rather than the story itself.
What I didn't like about this book:
The author's writing. I feel like she oftentimes tries to be too experimental which means that the story itself is lost. I nearly DNF'd at 30% because I thought it was a YA book with the way it was written. I find it hard to believe the characters are in college.
I really hated the protagonist. I can't remember her name, that is how forgettable she was. There also wasn't enough differentiation between the personalities of the Bunnies that I barely knew who was talking and when and to be honest, I didn't really care.
The juvenile references to sex. It often felt forced and clumsy and a bit awkward.
This has been tagged as horror but I don't really think there is all that much horror in the story.
So, would I recommend this book?
I know that it is really popular on TikTok and I would probably recommend it to someone who enjoys those recommendations. I probably wouldn't recommend it to someone who enjoys stories and writing that is a bit more grown up.
Overall, it was fine. I read it in a weekend so it wasn't too much of a chore to get through.
