#roll100 well this book was batshit crazy. And I thoroughly enjoyed it! Loved trying to unpick all the metaphor vs reality, a wild ride.

Samantha is a lonely scholarship student enrolled in an elite postgraduate writing program with little more than her dark imagination to deal with an obnoxious cohort of twee rich girls. I read this novel in part as a metaphor for the writing process but there are multiple ways to interpret this wild story. It would be fun to discuss with a book club.

I stayed up til midnight to finish this book. That's how deep the hook was set. It is weird. And it will have you questioning reality at the end. It also has some serious wtf moments. It was such a fun, though wild, ride. And I absolutely loved the writing.

Oh Bunny, I loved this book sooo very much. I truly did!
Samantha is a student in a writing program in grad school. The four other girls in her class call one another Bunny and are inseparable. And one day they unexpectedly invite Sam to Smut Salon. Then things get really weird.

CogsOfEncouragement My daughter and I read this. I don‘t think I would have picked it up on my own but glad she knew about it. I really enjoyed it. 6mo

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Its plot was quite unusual and could divide readers into loving or hating it. However, I found myself completely immersed in the story and unable to put it down as it became more surreal. I stumbled upon a review that used the term 'black licorice' to describe this type of book, which I thought was quite clever.

I read this book in one evening, I had to know where it was going.
I ended up Googling what other readers interpreted from the ending as it was a little confusing.
I felt sorry for Samantha for most of the book. She seemed so lonely and lost. The Bunnies were all very intriguing.
This is the type of book you only need to read once, but I would maybe recommend it to someone if they wanted to read an out of the box book.

I just started this book, but my recollection of grad school is not cliques like the Bunnies. No one had time for that; we were all too busy with classes, theses, and dissertations. Those of us with grad assistantships especially had no time for that. We‘ll see. So far it seems a weird little book but I‘m not opposed to weird if it‘s a good story.

Billypar My grad school class was very busy, but unfortunately made the time to become pretty clique-y as well 🙄 12mo
KathyWheeler @Billypar That‘s so weird to me because that wasn‘t my experience either time. Also, I could just have not noticed; I‘m famous among friends and family for my obliviousness. 😄 12mo

I read this because everyone said it was weird and I wanted to know why. And guess what? It was weird.
She's in a cult. But also, in a graduate program. Also, lonely. Also, living in a very scary city. I'm not sure how it ended? But I know it ended.
I mildly hated the writing style.
I almost DNFd this 50% through because I found out why it was weird. But... I... couldn't stop?

Don't read it. But also read it. Idk.

At first I couldn't figure out what the hell I was reading, but when I figured it out, I realized that I love this novel. It's an interesting look at the reasons people enter into creative pursuits, the way that the need to belong and to be seen can create monsters as well as things of beauty, the lengths people will go to to feel less alone, and how the people with the most recognition aren't always those with the most talent.

So I had previously DNF‘d this, but I was in the mood for something strange and decided to give it another chance. This time I listened to the audiobook, and that made this extremely bizarre story unfold for me. I honestly don‘t completely know what was going all the time. However, this is a savage exploration of snobby academia. There is so many little details that could be discovered on reread as well.⬇️

Nessavamusic Horrifying and fascinating and definitely not for everyone. 4.25⭐️ 1y

This was bonkers, and I kinda loved it.

Awad is a fantastic writer. You'd have to be to make the events of this book feel in ANY way plausible.

Bunny is bitchy, hallucinogenic, original, creepy, full of 90s cliché and poetic pastiche. Loosely dark academia, but would be better placed in the surreal horror section.

The whole thing reads like a psychedelic dream that could be feminist or misogynistic depending how you read it!

4 bizarre stars

I finished up Bunny before I left home. What a strange creepy story! I liked it!

Did anyone else while reading this want to call everyone around them “Bunny”? I was calling Sietje and the cats that, and saying it while talking to myself. 😆

College cliques can be kind of culty, and I loved the way Awad took it in a somewhat witchy supernatural direction. I‘ll definitely read her next book!

(Pictured is Sietje with her Bunny, and others)

3.5 ⭐
Points for imagination and random reference drops. I like books that mention things in a wild range like Citizen Kane and Sid Vicious. It limits the audience that will understand but for those that do it is cool.
I struggled with how wildly fever dream it is and how much animal abuse. I can see why people would hate the book, you have to be prepared for dark and weird.

I'm now reading Bunny by Mona Awad and am almost done with it!! The story takes place in college where a girl named Samantha becomes sucked into this cultish group of girls called the Bunnies and along the way she slowly disregards her only friend Ava. I havent loved a book this much in a while since I relate to a lot of the feelings the main character feels. If you love weird and disorienting books this is for you.

Bunny is a book that is horror and at the same time comedy. The author uses satire and sarcastic writing to bring a humorous light into the moments of horror in this book. It's written in the present tense by the main character(first person perspective). The author also uses a lot of repetition to familiarize the reader with jokes they can feel in sighted on too.

Awad is a great writer but Bunny goes to a place where reality & fantasy are so intertwined that it becomes difficult to sort it all out. I thought the big reveal would be that all are in an insane asylum but alas, no. Instead we are expected to drop our concept of reality & just go with it. Specks of Tart‘s A Secret History, Pinborough‘s Behind Her Eyes & Michaelides‘The Maidens are here but just not as rewarding as these classics.
