“We think we are alone. We think we are so special. We are deeply mistaken.”
Bunny is a dark and twisted story of how influential your peers can be in university. How caving into peer pressure can turn into something horrifying, disturbing and mind boggling. I don’t even know how to describe this book honestly. It’s simply a disturbing, odd, yet interesting story to dive into.
The Bunnies feels a little cult-ish to me personally or maybe that’s just what they are because the things that they do at the “Workshop” are grotesquely horrifying. It’s almost like a cult ritual with the actual bunnies, the chants and all. A bit spooky and a bit weird. It’s a weird yet engaging book overall.
I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for something horrifying yet not so, weird with dark elements yet indescribable. Mona Awad might just be my new favourite author.

This book is nutso bonkers and I love it. I thought I was gonna hate it for the first like 50 pages but it found its footing and it was so good. I can see why people might not like this if they are not a fan of things with a David Byrne/Lynch energy but I cannot relate.

DNF at 14%- I read and then took a break cuz I just couldn’t get into it but even when I came back nope. Blame it on me- this was just a bit too obscure for me!
I was really liking it in the beginning but I feel like it got so repetitive and bogged down by wordy sentences that contained nothing. I also didn’t get the point really? What is this book saying? Because it seems so much to want to be and think of it’s self as a book that says something. I was confused a lot of the time and also wasn’t particular interested / invested in any of the characters. I feel like for such a long and wordy book I needed more of a reason or a theme. It seemed like a book about a miserable not like other girls girl who hate girls (but also loves them lol) and then a group a girls who are miserable in a different culty way and obsessed with boys. Oh and one of the main things that bothered me while reading the book is that none of the characters feel real, at all. They don’t act the way people act or talk the way people talk so it left me out of it instead of invested. Idk it was just kind of flimsy to me. Like at the end all the women are like zombies for this one man? Like what was the reason. For all those words I wish there was a better plots
This book gets 3 stars for vibes and 2 stars for plot. Loved the mix of hyper-feminine and almost extreme modesty things like dresses, frills, braids, “lipstick is for sluts,” perfume, and lotion, mixing with the grotesque, like the blood and guts from the bunnies and the transformations.
However, I will admit that the pacing was a bit off and dragged near the middle when it felt like our protagonist had lost their purpose. Which I guess is to be expected, I just couldn’t really handle her really rambly inner monologue on top of a slow moving plot. Also, I was totally down for this to be a weird one, and it definitely was, but it felt like at the end that the weirdness overtook the plot and we got a bit lost along the way.
Overall, definitely a fun read and one that I might recommend to others, but probably not one that I will be rereading again.
