Mona Awad’s Bunny is a brilliantly horrific acid trip that reveals itself in shocking ways. Bunny is like Heathers, if Veronica was JD was Veronica. Sickeningly sweet and grotesquely corrosive, the novel oozes smells, sights, and textures that make your skin crawl for no apparent reason. Awad’s novel is definitely one that would benefit from a reread, as I’m sure there is a second layer to discover after having reached the conclusion. This depiction of ritualistic femininity and bloody love (through, ultimately, a battle with schizophrenia) is definitely a must-read.
