definitely nothing will ever top bunny by mona awad (biased bc it’s my favorite novel) and i got a lot of bunny-esque vibes which was a little frustrating because i wanted this to be its own thing. however i wouldn’t have sat down and read the whole thing at once if i didn’t enjoy it :-)

insane ending from evelyn who needs a lot of therapy but the buildup was so mediocre that i kept having to put it down and come back. i am a martine rights apologist and she totally should have
