Sunshine Bunnies Book Review: A Dark Twist on a Lighthearted Title

Hello everyone!

This review is about a book I picked up from the library, and it's called "Sunshine Bunnies" by Alexandra Zaskaleto. I hadn't heard of the author before, and the title made me think it was a lighthearted book about summer and memories.

But that's not what it's about at all. As the author claims, "Sunshine Bunnies" is primarily a psychological thriller, and it's probably not for fans of classic detective stories.

I didn't think about that when I chose the book at the library, though. I just read the summary and decided to give it a try. So, did I enjoy the book? I'll share my thoughts below.

A BIT ABOUT "SUNSHINE BUNNIES"

This book was published by EKSMO in 2022. What's interesting is that I couldn't find any other reviews or mentions of this book online, so I had to create a new thread for it.

sunshine bunnies alexandra zaskaleto reviews

The book's cover design is pretty intriguing. On a dark blue background, there's a single chair, and you can't help but wonder what's going on with that chair. But as it turns out, the chair isn't the point – it's just a red herring. You can find out what I mean if you decide to read the book.

By the way, this book has a hardcover. I personally love books like that because they're comfortable to hold, easy to flip through, and way better than paperback books that are too small to handle.

The cover has an 18+ rating, which makes sense, given some of the mature themes and language used in the book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 18, to be honest.

On the back cover, there's a brief description of the book, which we'll get back to later. For now, let's move on to the good stuff.

Alexandra's sunny little rabbits - my first impressionI was a bit skeptical about the book's size at first - it's got around 400 pages, give or take a few (it's 416, to be exact). It's not the easiest thing to get through, but I found myself getting more and more invested as I went along. By the end, I was actually wondering if the stuff that was happening was real.

The pages themselves are a bit thin and you can see a bit of the text through them. They're a bit of a greyish color and have a rough texture. The font is a pretty standard size and I didn't notice any typos while I was reading. There aren't any pictures in the book, though.

The text is divided up into chapters, each with its own title - which is pretty cool. What was a bit weird, though, was that the first chapter was actually chapter 12, and then the numbers just kept getting smaller. But honestly, I didn't even notice that until I went back and looked at the table of contents after I'd finished reading. You definitely get a better feel for the story if you start at the beginning, though.

About the book

From the blurb:

This is a story where everyone's a victim - even the killer… Life in this swanky high-rise building looks pretty normal on the surface. But it's not. Someone's been dropping corpses around like they're testing the residents' sanity and exposing their darkest secrets. Trouble is, not everyone's keen to call the cops, since some of the residents are hiding from them… Things get even more complicated because the victims all look alike - like two peas in a pod. And every time someone tries to figure out who the killer is, they end up with one inescapable conclusion: the residents of this building have a lot more in common than just their address…

Sunshine Bunnies by Alexandra Zaskeletto ReviewsWhen I first read the blurb, I was intrigued. I wanted to know what was going on in this house where the residents keep finding dead bodies in their apartments. And I'm not talking about just one apartment - it's a pattern. I found myself wondering who's behind these murders and how they're managing to leave the bodies in the apartments without getting caught.

This story really piqued my interest, and I just had to dive in. But did it live up to my expectations? Did I enjoy this book?

I'll get to the answers to those questions below.

My Impressions of the Book

Right off the bat, I'll admit that I knew nothing about the author or the book. I stumbled upon it in the library, and it caught my eye. But it turns out the author is pretty big on self-promotion, and they're confident that this book will appeal to fans of movies like Inception, The Game, The Taking, and TV shows like The Hunger Games, Lost, and so on and so forth.

These are the kind of people who will love this book, according to the author.

Personally, I've only seen Lost, and that was ages ago, so I don't even remember it that well. I'm not sure if this book shares any similarities with these movies and shows, so I'm not sure if it'll appeal to fans of those genres.

Sunshine Bunnies by Alexandra Zaskeleto ReviewsOne of the first things I noticed in this book is the liberal use of profanity. One of the characters is going off on a rant, and another character tries to calm her down. I'm not a big fan of profanity in books, so this didn't exactly win me over from the start.

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but as I kept reading, I found myself getting drawn in. There was something intriguing about the story unfolding in the house. Who was behind the murders, and why the bodies all looked so eerily similar? The more I read, the more it started to feel like a surreal, absurd circus. I even began to wonder if there was some kind of mystical force at play. I mean, how else could you explain everything that was happening?

But then the author threw me a curveball with the ending. I was genuinely surprised - I wouldn't have predicted it in a million years. If I'm being honest, though, the epilogue kinda ruined the whole experience for me. It felt like a jarring note in an otherwise decent story.

And it wasn't just the epilogue that left me feeling underwhelmed. There were a few other issues that bothered me. For one thing, there were just too many characters to keep track of. I mean, I counted at least a dozen main characters, and there were plenty of secondary ones to boot. I found myself flipping back to earlier chapters just to remember who was who.

And to make matters worse, every single one of these characters was...off in some way. There was the serial killer who enjoyed dismembering bodies, the Swedish family with some pretty dark secrets, and even some girls who were struggling to make their relationship work. It was like the author was trying to pack as many weirdnesses into the story as possible.

By the time I'd read about 5-6 chapters, I was starting to wonder if any of it was even remotely realistic. It just seemed like something out of a TV show or a movie - a bunch of crazy people living in a house with a bunch of dead bodies, and the police just standing around, clueless. I was reading with a healthy dose of skepticism, wondering what the author was trying to say with all this.

But the ending was a weird twist that somehow made the absurdity on the pages of the book make sense. And it might resonate with some people, while others will say it's all wrong.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this book, but it's definitely one of the weirdest things I've read. But in all likelihood, this kind of thing just isn't my cup of tea.

Sunny rabbits, a strange review from Alexander Zaskal'tsoAnd another thing that didn't sit well with me is that each chapter is essentially a short story about a family or group of people. It reminded me of short story collections, which I'm not a fan of, so that's a minus from me.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Overall, "Sunny Rabbits" by Alexander Zaskal'tso is a pretty unusual book. I wouldn't say it's terrible, though. There's something that sets it apart from other books, so maybe fans of weird books will enjoy it. I'd say try it out for yourself and see what you think.

Thanks for reading my review! I hope it was helpful.
