⚠️ TW: drug use, murder, animal abuse ⚠️ Sometimes books leave you completely dumbfounded and this is definitely one of them 🤯 This book follows Samantha Mackey who is a scholar student at the highly elite Warren University who prefers her dark imagination to the world she is trapped in and the people that surround her, especially an unbearable clique known as the bunnies. Until the day she receives an ominous invitation that sends her down one hell of a rabbit hole. Wow this book is an absolute rollercoaster of a mind f*ck and I have no other way to describe it but it really wasn't for me unfortunately. I appreciated and enjoyed the snide undertones and outright mocking of clique culture, sororities and the world of the elite and ivy league institutions but other than that I was just constantly thinking what the heck is going on. I kept reading in the hope something would click and make some sort of sense but unfortunately it didn't, but i weirdly couldnt stop reading either. Despite that I did really like Samantha and Ava. However, everything was so overly erotic and sex crazed to the point it was just plain strange in my opinion. Overall, I personally wouldn't recommend it but please don't let my review put you off reading this book because I know a lot of people have loved it.
