madgerdes 's review for:

We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad
5.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I absolutely loved diving back into the Bunny cinematic universe. This book expanded upon the world and story from Bunny in unexpected ways. The narration style was unique and engaging (I won't give away any spoilers), and I loved that I really couldn't tell where the story was going. I'm always a big fan of creative criticisms of higher education (ala Babel, Disorientation, etc.), and I'm happy to add this to the list of books I've enjoyed in that category. I really appreciate when a book can make me laugh and make me think. We Love You, Bunny had me considering philosophical questions such as who owns an idea, what does it even mean to create, and how can we create without destruction while also laughing at the candid observations of one of the narrators. I highly recommend for fans of magical realism and Twin Peaks, and for anyone who both loves what higher education could be but feels disenchanted by what it is now. 

Also thank you Net Galley for the chance to read and review this early :)
