Bunny by Mona Awad
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
This was such a chore and while im assuming it’ll have a purpose, the dialogue and constant droning on was insufferable. I don’t care about Samantha. Everything I’d read up to about 45% seemed to be setting itself for some Fight Club ending that I just didn’t care enough about to see through.
Also, I really think I just hate dark academia. People going to elite schools and complaining about everything is such an eye roll even if it IS satire

Aw man, this fell so flat for me.
The first 50 or so pages set everything up really nice and had me interested, but WOOF. After the initial set up, I found myself hoping ANYTHING would happen to make me care about any single character.
The romance wasn’t believable, there was zero chemistry, and by the end we just had to take their word for it that they loved one another.

Fun and insufferable read !
Living inside June’s brain was exhausting; and I’ve never been more happy to be rid of a character, but that’s the whole point.
Kuang’s writing rules, gives me the motivation to finally read The Poppy War
