dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

The Secret History X Heathers? i don’t know, i never watched heathers. 

this book was insane. quite literally. everyone needs to go to a hospital. i had no idea what was going on half the time, but that’s what everyone says, no? i expected more weirdness, but this was good.
Samantha summoning her so-called demonic animals without them exploding, unlike the other Bunnies?
that was weird, but also kind of heartwarming. and i’m not going to lie, i liked Max.
i know Max is literally just Samantha’s subconscious, but he was cool. also doesn’t that mean that Ava was also Samantha’s subconscious, since she probably summoned her from a swan?
no idea

i quite liked the Workshop.
exploding bunnies for the sake of some demonic animal’s cock?
not the weirdest thing i’ve seen, honestly. also i love stags so that appearing was fun. also kill your darlings reference? i also didn’t watch that the whole way through but i was delighted nonetheless. 

jonah come save us all 🙏🏻 (edit:
FUCK I DIDNT EVEN REALISE JONAH WAS ALSO A DARLING. i thought i was so slick and smart for seeing straight away that Ava was a Darling but Jonah?? that’s insane.
)

i wanted to give this 5 stars, but i don’t know, i’m stingy with my stars. i’d say, the only reason why this isn’t a solid 5 stars is because i didn’t really feel much emotions with the story? it’s interesting, weird, and i really liked it, but i just didn’t feel anything. it was just like, oh okay this is happening, that’s crazy. crazy read, and somehow, i kind of get Samantha. needless to say, i understand why people love this book, but as much as i love it, i also get why people hate it.
