Originally, the book wasn't on my radar simply because I'm not a fan of horror, but because booksandlala loved the book so much, and I found it at a thrift store for a reasonable price, I gave it a chance.
I'm seeing how this book is praised for being a cult favorite, especially for those who understand the cultural references. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people who think it's a favorite, nor do I understand the inspiration behind the story, which may be a good thing, as I could read it as a normal novel.
Samantha, an unpopular grad student, dislikes the popular girls (along with her best friend, Ava), that is also part of her writing program, gets invited to join this group, whom all four girls call each other Bunny. At first, it does get confusing, calling four different girls the same name, but Samantha goes into some detail about each girl's personality, looks, and writing style that you can kind of tell them apart when Bunny is used, along with some context clues.
What makes this a horror story is what these girls do to perform as the Body. We get a glimpse of it during the Bunnies' first session, Smut Salon, and it's only until Samantha gets integrated with the Bunnies that we realize that the Bunnies are using rabbits as their own personal "sex" project.
My favorite part of the story would probably be Part Three. Partly because I know the story is about to end, but the whole ordeal about Max/Ava made sense. And you start to realize the reality of everything, and how even though the Bunnies feel like they're "sisters", they can easily be torn apart by a man.
The reason for a lower rating, I was walking into this not knowing too much about the story, and I walked out feeling confused, maybe more confused than when I started the book. Again, maybe it's because I didn't get the culture references, maybe I was hoping that the plot was going to be something else besides a group of girls being "mean" to someone in their cohort, or maybe I wanted Samantha to get a happy ending, graduating with a thesis that actually becomes what we're reading. Regardless, it was an okay read. I was debating about whether I wanted to read the sequel, but it looks like it's getting lukewarm ratings, and even booksandlala was hesitant about it, so maybe I'll pass.
