5 stars for the book that got me out of my reading slump so bloody quickly.
Also, this is a midnight induced vibes only review. I absolutely loved bunny, it’s exactly my cup of tea. Unsettling creepy unease throughout with psychological supernatural undertones and social commentary on addiction/alcoholism and its effect on families and children.
What a debut!

A very readable YA story about Alice, a young scholarship student at an elite school trying to find a way to secure her last year of school, knowing her parents won't be able to afford to pay the tuition.

When her gift ‘appears’, it brings her closer to her enemy/competitor Henry who helps Alice navigate her gift to make some money helping her classmates anonymously. But when a more serious and dangerous, morally questionable job is offered, she questions whether it’s worth it.

I don’t know if this is considered an enemy to lovers trope, as I don't read much romance, but they seem more like school competitors than enemies.

An easy read, which will appeal to its target audience.

With thanks to NetGalley and HQ for an ebook to review.
