I feel like the concept of this book and the writing itself was very interesting. And I love reading the different ways people interpret the ending and the meaning of the story. From the beginning it had me hooked and I really enjoyed it. I think the book was supposed to end and leave you guessing but I wish it would have wrapped it up a little bit better for me though.

A wonderful fever dream.  I've just finished it and I'm left with a book buzz, but also a small ball of nausea in the bottom of my stomach that only time will settle.  This story was like The Craft meets Heathers.  It's perfect for your average Generation X reader who still thinks it's cool not to sell out and secretly wants to punish those mean girls in high school who had everything.  I enjoyed it and I didn't. It was brilliant.  If you are in the mood for dark absurdity, as one often is in the fall, check Bunny out.
