I love Awad’s writing style, it made me feel anxious and uncomfortable and curious and want to keep going but also not want it to end. The plot was really getting somewhere where I couldn’t tell if the mc/narrator was reliable or if everything was just imagined and where that line was drawn between real life and created by the writers in the book. I wished it didn’t end the way it did, it left me staring at the back of the airplane seat in front of me and going back to see if I missed some pages. I wanted more of an end to Samantha and the bunnies and max and her time at school. It felt kind of hopeful? But at the same time like…ok all that just happened and that’s it? Samantha needs rest though so I get it
