i thought people were exaggerating when they said this was the weirdest thing theyve ever read and that you would barely be able to comprehend it but they were sooooo right. the first half (part 1 and the beginning of part 2) is pretty put together for the most part, and i really really enjoyed it. the bunnies were my favorite characters and thats when they were utilized the most. it also reminded me a lot of some of my favorite movies like jawbreaker and heathers. however, they were really the only part of the book i really understood or cared to understand. its not that i didn’t care for the book as a whole, i did, and i do, but the second (?) act is when shit really hit the fan and i didnt really understand what was going on. the last few chapters were like a ginormous puzzle my brain barely had the energy to pick apart. but aside from all that, i think im able to understand the core of it all.
im just not the biggest fan of the whole cliche “it was all in her head” trope when i really expected something real out of it all, which would have made it all the more interesting.
but, still an enjoyable read, super camp and fun (for the most parts except for when it gets pretty gross) and i would recommend it to people who want to read something to think about for months after :)
