Oh bunny, you are sooo like, totally unhinged? But in like the BEST way possible?
When I first read this book I was too stunned to talk about it.
I put it down. Returned it to the library. Scored it 3 stars and decided to just move on with my life.
But the thing about Bunny is that bunny just gets in your head you know? Bunny likes to hang out and let her freak flag fly. Bunny likes to remind you of the book in the most visceral way possible.
So now I’m here. Writing a review nearly a month later and I’ve changed my rating to 5 stars. Because the girls who get it get it.
I am an absolute simp for an unhinged woman in literature. Samantha, our main character, is truly mad as a bag of snakes and the journey through her mind from her perspective is a twisty one. At the end I had no idea what was real and what wasn’t.
But I LOVED it.
This book is definitely not for everyone. I still wonder if I’m maybe a bit too dumb to truly appreciate it but it was weird as f*ck and enjoy the shit out of books like that.
I didn’t take any pretty books pics so just enjoy these Bunny *vibes* instead. 🐰
