April 2022 Group Read #1 - Bunny

[Jamie]

Question...

(view spoiler)[ Do you think the bunnies wanted Samantha to be part of their group because they met Ava and realized "what" she was and thought Samantha would then be able to help them create better men?" (hide spoiler)]

I love your character choices, really to the point. I'm so bad at finding actors/actresses to the characters in books I read, so I'm really impressed :)
I think your spoilered question is also very probable, since (view spoiler)[ there is this scene at one of the parties where they all look at Ava intensely and after that they invite her over. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ That's exactly what I think. Where Samantha didn't realize it herself, but they definitely knew. It does make you wonder, but where it was a sudden flip from the year before, definitely yes. My main question is how were they able to do it in the first place?? (hide spoiler)]

Finished Bunny... after forcing myself to skim through the last two parts hoping there'd be some context given to the story and how the Bunnies bacame "Bunnies." But nope, just a lotta meh in the 2nd and 3rd parts of the story. The first part was intriguing, and then it just veered all over the place with no destination, kind of like a drunk toddler on a tricycle.

I was determined to finish the book because I was hoping beyond hope that the conclusion would provide some logic and sense of satisfaction... nope. I found the writing lyrical at times and I liked it in that vein, but otherwise, a lot of repitition in the storytelling and that became tedious.

(view spoiler)[My hope was that the story would wrap up with some explanation of what the Bunnies are and how they can create a living entity (are they witches, faeries, other?) because the story is set in the normal world, I think, so it makes no sense how Bunnies came to be, and I want to know!

Because this book didn't read like a total fantasy fiction, I would've liked an ending that brought it back to the real world. For example, either 1) We found out what we've been reading is a work of fiction that is Samantha's final thesis into which she'd incorporated characters from her real life at the university, like Ursula and the other students in her workshop; or 2) Because she's detached from reality, Samantha is in a psych ward where Ursula is the psychologist who leads a group therapy session and the Bunnies, Jonah, and Ava are other patients in the therapy group. The story is just the fantasy world in which Sam lives.

I would've been happier with either type of ending versus ambiguous leaving me with questions. (hide spoiler)]
