Dysfunctional

I couldn’t disagree with the blurb more.

Rabbit aka Sadie befriends Juliet, in part because she has a crush. Rabbit is also mourning the loss of her mother, struggling with her father’s drinking and frustrated that the friends she pushed away have stayed away.

I disliked Juliet from her first scenes screwing with the moderator of a self help group. Rabbit was so needy for attention and positive regard she overlooked Juliet’s sociopathic tendencies, like leaving Rabbit and another friend in the middle of a lake, naked and without life preservers. Juliet is just as abusive to Rabbit as her ex, Richard although in different ways.

Revenge doesn’t work for me when a sociopath is leading the charge.

As much as I sympathized with Rabbit, I didn’t fully buy into her character. Most high schoolers don’t speak in SAT words like Rabbit.

RABBIT & JULIET is well-written, in terms of wordbuilding. I liked the premise for the book more than the book.
