Plain and simple: this book is very good. The entire last third of the book was so bizarre and truly jaw dropping that I couldn’t put it down. I can’t say much else without spoilers but I do think this book is intensely interesting for the shock factor alone on just what the fuck is going to happen next. A quick read once you get into it.

Wow, this is the most bizarre and weird book I have read so far. This is a book you will either love or hate. This book definitely made me feel uneasy at times. Such a creative book! You will keep thinking about this book for a long time. Very thought-provoking! Also makes for a great discussion with your book club or reading buddies. 

Spoiler

This book is about a character with schizofrenia / psychoses (I think, this is not specifically mentioned) which makes you doubt what is real and what is not while reading this book. I still don't know and that is the intention. I keep speculating about this! This is what a good book should provoke in my opinion! I even read about other people's thoughts about it because I was so curious about what others thought about what was real and what not. Wish I had someone to discuss this with.

Wow, bunny really is a wild ride. Lost me for a minute in the hatred of everything pink and girly, but won me back so so hard.

Definitely not what I expected when I picked it up. There were points where I wasn't sure if I loved the book. However, once I finished it, I found it to be an overall satisfying and fun exploration of themes of belonging and imagination.
