The book was different. I enjoyed it. Nice little plot twist at the end. It kind of ended with some questions, but ultimately a satisfying ending.

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

unluckycat13's review against another edition

I think this book is really predictable if you're well versed in media, especially horror media. Like literally all of it down to the fake outs and the metaphor.

"Kill your darlings" is a very common author metaphor for editing and letting go of bad parts of a story.

I just don't like predictability in fiction. Most of the time what I'm going for is something new, and unexpected. I think someone's experience with the horror and modern "literary" fiction are going to heavily determine how weird and unexpected this book is to them.

This is a rare occasion where the prose is quite nice. That being said, I don't really enjoy the content and the emphasis on sex and sexuality. The college students felt like highschoolers. The bunnies themselves were not scary or creepy, they just sounded like a normal lesbian polycule. Not once in my real life have I ever seen the goth-won't-wear-kitten-gloves or goth vs prep thing that this book employs. No one in this story is a real person, they're Daria level caricatures but they're masquerading as fully fleshed out characters. 

Overall it's not a terrible book but not enjoyable enough to finish.
