Samantha Heather Mackey is an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA programme at Warren University. In fact, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort – a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other 'Bunny.' But then the Bunnies issue her with an invitation and Samantha finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door, across the threshold, and down their rabbit hole.
Blending sharp satire with fairytale horror, Bunny is a spellbinding trip of a novel from one of fiction's most original voices.

This was an absolutely incredible read. From evil to comical to jarringly emotional, Bunny was one hell of a ride
A kafkaesque nightmare, a 200-page lsd trip, Fight Club for lit majors
This book should be the definition of a fever dream. I have no idea what was going on. But I was fully invested in the characters and the story. The writing was fantastic. Awad did an amazing job with really immersing your view as the MC is being absorbed into the Bunnies.
I just have no idea if this was schizophrenia (which is referenced MANY times throughout the book) or magical realism. I spent the whole book wondering if this was actually happening or not because of some of the events that go on. An absolute trip. Highly recommend.
I loved how absurd and unhinged this book was. The writing style was a treat and I enjoyed the satire a great deal. I was a bit afraid of the horror aspects, but I could handle them just fine. If you're not usually into horror, please don't skip this book just because of that!
So much of this book reminds me of Life is Strange, Black Swan, and Mean Girls. But in the best way! When I finished this, I was left with so many questions wanted to do a re-read straight away.

I doubt I can add any insights that haven’t been discussed. I both loved and hated it. I was ultimately left feeling like I wasn’t smart enough to fully get it.
