Hmm. Big hmm. I liked the writing style of this book, plus Michael as an outsider-looking-in narrator to Bunny's story is interesting. But the ending of this felt like we missed some developments, some plot threads. I guess that's realistically what happens when friendships fade, but as a reader of a book I want more. I truly believe that this is Bunny's story, Michael is just our storyteller, and I wanted to know more about how she evolved during their period of non-contact. Big, big, hmm.
