I'm honestly not sure how I felt about this book. I think I really enjoyed it, but it's the type of story that you really have to sit on for a little while to process. Definitely best to go in blind and not know anything about the plot!

This book was “not for me.” But could be a good read for someone who likes horror, the most unreliable narrator I’ve ever encountered and if you enjoy being completely unsure what the hell you just read.

challenging dark

3.0

I am very glad to be done with this book, it was making my dreams werid 🤣

I think this is a "it's not you, it's me" book cos it's definitely a book out of my range, I'm not really a horror person, and so much of it was so bizarre, but I also do still think it's an element of "it's you" because I genuinely don't understand the themes of the books aside from the main character being deeply lonely??? 

Had all the very weird things that you honestly aren't sure are real or not served a thematic purpose I would have liked it more, but I don't think the loneliness was enough, especially because there was no arc to it?? Expect that maybe she learns to embrace it and not care about the Bunnies?? But humans need connection??

If Jonah was real (is he real ??) and that arc was fleshed out then it would probably have been better.

I did like her unreliablity as a narrator, that was interesting to read, and I liked the comments on the university, the privileged students, and some of the ridiculousness of arts students, as former English major myself, those were funny moments.

The writing is done very well, some passages I really loved how it described her emotions/experiences,

the whole passage on the revelation of Ava being the swan was great.

Overall, this was an experience, and I don't think I'll be reading another of her books!

The main character has the “I’m not like other girls” personality, and never fails to let you forget it. The entire story and plot line follow how she is sooo different from alllll the other girls. It’s just an okay book, to me.
