Why read it?

2 authors picked Bunny as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Mona Awad’s Bunny is a fever dream of literary wit and feminist horror.

Following the bizarre experiences of Samantha, who’s pursuing an MFA at an elite New England institution, Bunny reveals raw truths about envy, aspiration, and loneliness while delivering delicious shocks at every turn.

Awad keeps the reader guessing from the first to the final page in this Lovecraftian fable. I couldn’t put this book down, by turns gasping and giggling as Sam’s story unfolded.

This satire of academia's petty politics is horrifying and hilarious.

The Bunnies are a clique of wealthy MFA students whose uncomfortably close friendship disgusts and intrigues lonely Samantha. When Samantha’s invited to join the group for a night, she tosses her only other friend aside. She hates the Bunnies, but you know what they say: if you can’t beat them, join them. Samantha’s inner conflict fascinated me.

We struggle with her to understand what’s compelling her to fall for the group's strange allure. This friend group is toxic to its core, but this book showed me that it's surprisingly easy…

From Sarah's list on complex, chaotic female friendships.
