That being said, with newfound respect for this book, I’m quite sure that it’s impossible to hold Bunny to any expectation, whether positive or otherwise.īunny is by far, the strangest, most eclectic, out of this world book that I’ve read this year–and maybe EVER (and I read Tender is The Flesh last year, which albeit is a strong competitor). So, in that regard, I already held this book to pretty high expectations. Let me start off this review by saying that I was lent this book by a very good friend and it is one of her all-time favorites (if not her top favorite). In this unique satirical novel about higher education, Mona Awad brings metaphors to life with a spooky, horrific narrative that will have readers thinking about it for ages to come.

As Samantha finds herself plunged deeper and deeper into the world of the bunnies, reality starts to blur and so do her friendships. Yet, when Samantha receives a mysterious invitation to join her fellow students, the bunnies, at their infamous Smut Salon, Samantha finds herself drawn to their front door, and ditching her only friend in the process. It’s clear Samantha’s nothing like the elite clique on campus, a group of rich girls who call each other “Bunny,” and seem to move as one–right? She prefers the company of her own dark imagination, and her new friend and “townie,” Ava, who’s sinister sense of humor keeps her going. Samantha Mackey is a scholarship student at a prestigious university and it’s clear that she doesn’t fit in. “We call them Bunnies, because that is what they call each other” Mona Awad, bunny (3) SYNOPSIS
