This book was insane but I loved every second of it. When I picked it up I had heard of it being referred to as a ‘dark academia’ book, and while I guess this could be true, the tone of Bunny is very different from your typical college secret society and/or murder mystery trope. It lowkey comes together as a love child of Fight Club, Mean Girls, Frankenstein, and a little bit of the Secret History. Although that sounds odd, trust me, it works. I’m still shocked and I feel like I need to pick it back up again so I can go through and find all of the small hints that lead to the twists that wrap up the story. The ending left me satisfied and still very curious as to where Samantha will go from here.
