Demented, feverish, and just plain strange, Bunny forcibly blends Mean Girls with Jennifer's Body into a bloody, satirical tale about cults, cliques, academia, repression, and internalized misogyny. You can either reject the novel because of its excessive animal symbolism and juvenile main character or tumble down the rabbit hole in a blurry, imaginative frenzy that leaves you dazed long after you read it.

The book left me SO speechless after I finished it and I still don’t know what to say…

This book was so brilliant, shocking and weird & confusing, but in a positive way. Particularly the end was very interesting and to find out what was really going on all the time. The book leaves so much room for your own interpretation and it’s very interesting to read what other people think about it

and why they think wether certain things were real or not

. 

It definitely deserves 5 stars and I can only recommend it!! :)

An expertly crafted novel about a young woman's quest for artistic and sexual agency in a world that is attempting to penetrate her and her mind. Whether she gains that agency... well just read. That's at least my interpretation of Bunny.
This is one of those novels where everyone who reads it may have an interpretation that is similar in some regards, but wildly different when it gets to thematic details. Regardless of one's thematic or genre preferences, it's worth the read just for the intricate writing and lush atmosphere. I only wish this book had been a little sapphic...
