⭐⭐.5☆☆

“Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit” by Nadine Sander-Green presents captivating imagery that vividly portrays the rugged landscape of the far north. However, I encountered difficulty fully engaging with the narrative due to certain aspects of the main characters, Millicent and her counterpart, Pascal.

While the descriptions adeptly painted a vivid picture of Millicent’s surroundings, I found myself skimming through certain sections of the book, unable to fully immerse myself in the story. Millicent’s character felt somewhat jumbled, and her relationship with Pascal, though intended to evoke mystery and allure, often appeared implausible and difficult to believe due to Pascal’s initial demeanor and behavior.

Millicent’s decisions throughout the narrative left me feeling disconnected. Her naivety and willingness to disregard her own safety at the onset of the story made it challenging to invest in her journey. Despite recognizing the premise of being enticed by a mysterious stranger, I couldn’t shake the feeling of disbelief. Millicent’s immediate dismissal of her instincts in favor of pursuing an interview alone with Pascal seemed unrealistic.

Additionally, I was disappointed by Millicent’s choice in the epilogue, as it felt contradictory to her character development throughout the story. Ending the book at the conclusion of the last chapter would have been more satisfying, as Millicent’s decision to remain silent in the given scenario undermined the growth she had experienced.

While there was a lot about “Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit” I enjoyed there was a lot I didn’t. It just fell short in delivering a fully immersive and believable narrative. I would love to read more from this author in the future, and I hope that others will enjoy this book more than I did.
