Thoughts after literally just finishing the book: I'm confused but good confused and I cannot wait to go into a reddit bunny rabbit hole.
There's a lot of ways to interpret this book and while I can see that Samantha is not the most ✨mentally sound✨ I also want to believe the possibility that bunnies were actually turned into boys and Samantha had the power to make a swan friend and stag guy and I really want Jonah to be real damnit.
I want the magical realism aspect to not just be in Samantha's head so as far as I'm concerned both her mental state and witchyness exist in this book but maybe I'm delusional lol.
I do wish there were more about the bunny's and Samantha with the bunny's because that was the most interesting part to me. But I still enjoyed the read.
It is initially confusing but not nearly as confusing as the likes of booktok would suggest after the boy's head exploded I think the wtf-factor lessened
