- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
I need to think on this book for a bit I think.
I know these things:
- I did fully enjoy reading this. I felt like it is a very interesting commentary on academia and girlhood and girl friendships and anyone socialized as female will definitely see themselves in one of the women in this book.
- I am too autistic for some of these unreliable narrators and the ambiguity this book. I have so many unanswered questions and also I don’t know what happened lol but I’m trying to figure it out.
- I love freaky books but this is by far the weirdest book I have read. Not in a bad way at all, just a comment.
- I wanted more about the decapitations going on in this fucked up weird town that Samantha and the Bunnies lived in. I feel like there was a bunch of symbolism with that and I feel like it wasn’t fully wrapped up in a way that was pleasing to me personally.
I am torn on whether to do an in depth literature review on this book or whether to live and let live with this book. I think Ava would say “Smackie don’t fucking type that all out.” So I’ll end the review here: Good and weird book- I recommend it. 4 stars.
