Bunny by Mona Awad
4.25
This book makes my head feel all spinny-like bunny!!!
Bunny is the perfect balance of mystery and resolution. Open-ended books often frustrate me to no end, because oftentimes the author leaves out details that create an ending that just feels lazy, gaping potholes left in the author's wake. But here Mona Awad provides just enough answers about what's going on here to allow you to speculate until your head spins right off. There are no plotholes, only a future in which we as a reader are not privy to. And that makes the ending of this book really leave a lasting impact.
There's so much to be said here about the rich and their disconnection from reality. So much about the warping of reality that comes with power and money. The Bunnies are the way they are because they can be. They are rich and have no need for a proper perception of reality, leaving Sam innately different from them, as she has spent her whole life clutching on to reality, the reality of being poor really takes so many dreamy, trendy, and quirky things away from a person. Of course the Bunnies only ever care about what they /want/ none of them have ever had a reason to even consider what they need, all their needs are met, thinking about life that way is literally beyond them.
This book so smartly made fun of rich people and their ability to weaponize art to their advantage. So brilliant, will definitely be picking up another Mona Awad soon.
