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.

What the fuck did I just read, Bunny?

Weird and kind of wonderful. I had no idea what I was reading about but also couldn't put it down. A very strange concept and not like anything I've read before, and only picked up as it was my book clubs December read. Some serious psychedelic vibes.. 🐰

I don't know what's going on. I don't think I understand this one. Like... at all.

I’m conflicted about this book. At first it was so slow that I didn’t think I could get through it. Eventually something happens that instantly gets me hooked & I don’t want to put my kindle down. I enjoyed how manic it felt at times. If you like being on your toes this book is for you!

The ending is a bit lackluster but also made complete sense.
