This isn’t really a review; just an extended “content warning”, if you will. This book can be difficult to read, especially if you have mental illness, but there are many beautiful parts to Bunny’s story that make this book worth reading. 

Please proceed with caution if you are struggling with depression as this book may be triggering. I have no idea why the blurb portrays this story as some light, comedic, hilarious telling of depression — while there are several lines I highlighted because they were so ridiculously funny, overall this book is most definitely not a comedy nor even a dark comedy. Rabbits for Food is sad and heart wrenching ... but it is also real and beautiful and I’m so glad I read it. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?”
