“We love you, Bunny.” An ugly-pretty rollercoaster that takes us into the dark halls of Warren University and life through the eyes of social outcast Samantha Heather Mackey. Sam is an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program, living on the fringes of a clique in her cohort; “The Bunnies”, a group of rich, unbearable young women who she at turns despises and obsesses over.
Invited into their inner circle, Samantha must inevitably choose between The Bunnies, with their cupcake gowns and boyfriend shaped rabbit experiments, and her best friend Ava.
Dark academia meets literary horror, swings an axe at it, becomes comedy.
Sam is the embodiment of the girl that got rejected from the popular girl-group in high school. Her visceral hatred of femininity peels from the pages and makes her a difficult character to love, or even at times to understand. This book is definitely for anyone that needs to settle a revenge on their schoolyard bullies.
The blur between the lines of reality is palpable, the writing is a fantastic grab bag of pretentious art school concept writing and dreamlike, girlypop fiction.
All-together- I’m here for it. I love an art wanker story, I feel like I have actually met real people like ‘The Bunnies’ and kept thinking back to them throughout the story- if that isn’t horror I don’t know what is 😂
Sam is not a likeable character- she’s a pity party wrapped in a cloud of lies, but I think that’s kind of the point? She has to overcome her sense of self loathing and almost curated loneliness to eventually realise that she is an adult in an adult world and she has to do things for herself, without leaning on any/everybody else.
