Book 176 of 2024: Bunny by Mona Awad
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Samantha Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is repelled by the rest of her cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision.
Y’all this book was fucking UNHINGED. And I mean that in the best way possible. The boom is full of dark and toxic people, from the bunnies to Samantha herself, and the power struggles between them. Samantha was a fantastic character; she was so unlikable and sarcastic and mean to the Bunnies before being invited into their world, and I couldn’t help but adore her and all of her craziness. What I really enjoyed about this is that the book started out as a pretty standard dark academia with rivaling girls, but more sinister and ritualistic practices of the Bunnies are thrust upon the reader at the midway point. The book was also a hilarious commentary on literary masters programs. Sharp, macabre, and bizarre, I definitely recommend Bunny if you support women’s wrongs.
