“Bunny” is a dark comedy with rabbits and a cult of girls. It sounds like a weird story and it is. This book is not for everyone.
Samantha Heather Mackey goes to Warren University in new England. She hates this girl clique in her school that call themselves “Bunny”. They call each other that too. Samantha is all of a sudden invited to one of their gatherings and eventually feels drawn to their dark and mysterious world.
If you think you know what to expect, think again. Because there is no way you can predict what happens in this book. The book is very unique and original and the writing is amazing. But it’s a little bit too weird for my liking. I was really mesmerized at first, couldn’t put it down. But when we got into the world of the bunnies deeper and deeper, I start liking it less and less. Think of “Mean Girls” meets “Heathers”, but much darker.
I would for sure recommend this book, to the right people. It’s a very particular group of readers that absolutely love this book, and I understand it. But again, it’s just a bit too weird for my liking.
