"We call them Bunnies because that is what they call each other."
One word came to mind when I finished reading this book:
✨ What ✨
It was a strange read, but I didn't hate it.
I liked the prose quite a bit. It was a little odd at first, but once you get used to it, it makes the reading experience quite fun. It added to the magical realism aspect of the story. Now, the storyline was weeeeird and most definitely open to interpretation, but if you take it at face value, the Bunnies are giving cultish rich-girl lolita horny witches, and I'm not mad at it. Samantha is not the funnest protagonist to follow`she's whiny and seems to hate everything that isn't Ava. The Bunnies definitely spice things up; they're absolutely crazy. They reminded me of some preppy cliques' hive-minds from my high school, but like, on crack.
One thing with magical realism is that the magical parts aren't often explained, and you kind of have to simply accept that these things are possible and roll with it. I like things to be explained, so this genre usually leaves me unsatisfied, but I know that's a me problem and I'm working on it.
"Sure, Samantha," says the mud, "I'd love to."
