- some of the surrealist passages are fantastic, and the author is very good at writing things in a surreal way, especially portraying normal things as such
- the dynamic between Ava and Samantha is very interesting in contrast to Samantha, the Bunnies, and men
- some of the stylistic grammar-breaking choices work, but a lot of them don’t; particularly the recurring all-caps and multi-exclamation point moments irked me
- the “gore” moments were honestly more silly than anything, particularly when half of the time it’s just “and then [xyz] literally exploded”
- there are a lot of really out of place, pointless moments of bigotry that would not alter the story or tone at all if they were removed, particularly the weird references to lizard people conspiracies, the R slur & derogatory comparisons to disabled people, and the usage of the G slur to describe a Romani woman; it comes across very much as the author just not giving a shit about it
I think there could be a good book chipped out of Bunny with more editing, but it just fell flat to me. People also misrepresent what this book actually is a lot when recommending it; I wish I had actually known what sort of book this was when going into it rather than what it gets portrayed as.

At least the third part was somewhat interesting, but even with suspension of disbelief some events were simply illogical and did not seem to line up with the narrative. Other parts were so confusingly written that it became hard to understand what was going on. The ending was a desperate attempt at a plottwist. All in all, Bunny reads like bad fanfiction.

I’ve seen this compared to Heathers and while that is what made me interested initially, I have to say that it’s not a great comparison. Definitely in the individual and group dynamics between Samantha and the Bunnies, but I think the parallels start and stop there. And in that sense you could also easily compare this to Mean Girls.
I did find Samantha to be an honest character, as in she seems like a real, complex person; not in the sense that she tells the truth cause she be lyin’ quite a bit. However, I didn’t find her likable. I don’t want to spoil it so I’ll just say it is easier to sympathize with her than it is to like her.
I don’t like how this has been touted as a groundbreaking feminist piece, I’ll explain why in the spoiler below if you’re curious. It is still enjoyable to read as long as you don’t believe it’s going to be feminist in nature.
Something I adored is the foreshadowing, I am a sucker for getting to a big plot point and realizing all the foreshadowing that came before it. It makes reading it a second time fun for me. I do highly recommend it, but I don’t think it’ll be everyone’s cup of tea as it can be confusing and a bit pretentious at times.
