Half off because I don’t know how I feel about Ava’s murder

. But this was thrilling, terrifying, addicting. So many intricacies about female relationships that resonated with me. Specifically with the line “The hate is bubbling up in my soul and I am pinned there by the terrible fear that they will cast me out for good” (164). I loved the development and journey of Samantha’s character, especially the part where she

was integrated into the Bunny cult

. That was not something I expected, but really enjoyed. One last quote that stuck out to me was “That’s when I realized that whatever pain I have, whatever true want I have that lives under all this greasy, spineless needing to please isn’t something I want to give them” (169). I also wish the love between Ava and Samantha was more defined, but much of the details of “Bunny” are ambiguous, so it fits in well.
