Did I like this book? I don't know...I guess? I'd recommend it to others...but maybe with a disclaimer that I didn't necessarily enjoy reading all of it. This is such a strange story, and I'm not sure it fully worked for me, but I did feel compelled to continue reading and find out what the fuck is going on. It gets off to a bit of a rocky start for me—the perspective feels juvenile and melodramatic, which is perhaps the point as the protagonist is a young artist—and it has some sections that I found almost unbearable (the Bunny speak is pretty annoying, and those sections stretched on too long). But as a whole, it kept my attention and left me thinking at the end, so I guess...good?
