“But not too much pain, am I right? Not too much, never too much. If it was too much, you wouldn't know what to do with me, would you? Too much would make you uncomfortable. Bored. My crying would leave a bad taste. That would just be bad theater, wouldn't it? A bad show. You want a good show. They all do. A few pretty tears on my cheeks that you can brush away.”

This is my first Mona Awad book. I heard a lot of good things about Bunny, but because I got this free copy from NetGalley, I decided to start with this.

I love her writing style! I flew through the first half of the book. I enjoyed the dark thoughts of the main character, because who doesn't think ill at times? Buttt... she lost me when witchcraft/ dark magic got involved, just because I don't really enjoy reading about said topic.

I felt like the way she wrote about chronic pain
Is accurate and believable. It made me feel sympathy for Miranda especially when she hit her rock bottom because no one really believed her and nothing could make it better.

I didn't really enjoy the opening night. It just got a bit confusing to me. Weird and confusing and not in a good way. There were too many questions left unanswered, and I don't really like it when books do that. I'm here for answers, not more questions. Overall, an interesting read though.
