The whole review!


The book spoke to me on so many levels… Until the end.

I’ll start with things I like:
At the end of chapter 7, I felt the way they were talking about her (poem). How they wanted “more” from her. 

As a girl who’s not accepted by people around me, I related to her suffering. Of wanting to be accepted by others, even by those who you don’t like. And Samantha’s relationship with Jonah reminded me of how often I put those who actually cared about me behind. It’ll keep me up at night being reminded of it.

The creations being creatures combined of the girls’ desires, love and hatred in chapter 11 and later on with Max confused me after getting to the end.

Which is something that made me lost for words, and not in a good way. 
Was any of it real? What is real? We know the Bunnies and Max existed, since the Bunnies almost died because of him, but why were the other creations… Almost always failures? 

I have so much to say, but I’m growing tired… I’ll give it a 3.75, just because the ending is… Definitely something.
