Bunny by Mona Awad

🖤 Synopsis 🖤

Samantha Mackey is the proud outsider of her elite university’s creative writing MFA program. She is nothing like the rest of her cohort, the “Bunnies.” That is, until the Bunnies pull her into their orbit and she discovers that they may be more “cultish” than “cliquish,” and that their extra-curricular activities have a definite dark side.

🖤 Review 🖤

I added this book to my TBR as soon as I heard about it on the @booksinthefreezer podcast, but I didn’t have the chance to check it out until recently, and I regret not reading it sooner. Bunny grabbed me immediately, and it didn’t let go until the last page. It’s Heathers meets The Craft meets darkness-masquerading-as-light academia, with a delicious sense of grim humor that never detracts from the horror lurking just beneath the surface. Samantha is pitch perfect as the possibly-unreliable narrator who shuns her real-life peers in favor of her larger-than-life imagination and creative process. It’s refreshing to see this kind of book aimed towards a somewhat older audience. Most stories of this variety feel firmly young adult, but Bunny encapsulates the years between high school and the “real world,” and does so in a delightfully weird way. The set-up does slightly outshine the payoff—the last few chapters happen fast, and perhaps without quite enough world building to support the conclusion. Fortunately, I loved the rest of the book so much that the ending didn’t detract from the reading experience for me.
