I really wanted to not reiterate what every other reviewer out there has said but this book really takes a few turns that boggle the mind. That said, it's definitely a book worth ruminating over before simply setting it aside as something odd for odd's sake.

We follow Samantha Mackie, who is struggling to fit in at the prestigious Warren University, where she is reading for a writing MFA. She shares her workshops with 4 other girls who call each other Bunny. They're a clique not dissimilar to the Heathers, and anyone who's had to sit through writing workshops will tell you how important it is to feel like you can share and offer constructive criticism to those in that group. So despite her dislike of the Bunnies, when Samantha is invited to attend a Bunny event, she reluctantly goes along, and falls down a rabbit hole that has the reader react with an astounding "what the heck just happened".

It's quite difficult to explain why that is without spoiling the book, as I think going in without much in terms of expectations helps maintain the effect. But let's just say, this book is like a bit of a fever dream, with a surprising amount of gore (so take that as a content warning), and a lot of feeling.

Deep down, Bunny really is about the loneliness one feels when they are suffering from intense impostor syndrome, and literally not having anyone around to help you get through it. There's toxic friendships, and funny and relatable internal monologues, and some fun animal metaphors that are reminiscent of a children's book, if it were on a mission to scar an entire generation of kids. And a lot of satire familiar to many who have attended a University, whether part of the popular cliques, or those who see themselves on the sidelines (spoiler: everyone is pretentious either way).
