Bunny by Mona Awad follows Samantha Mackey, a 25-year-old fiction writer seeking an MFA at Warren University, where she reluctantly joins a clique of mean girls called the Bunnies who blend cuteness, sex, and violence through magical realism, ultimately blurring the lines between art and reality in a bizarre elite academic setting. The source material references sexual misconduct and graphic depictions of animal abuse.
Mona Awad’s Bunny has received praise for its imaginative, genre-blending narrative and dark humor. While readers appreciate its unique storytelling and commentary on friendship and creativity, some found the plot confusing and characters unrelatable. Overall, it’s a polarizing, thought-provoking read that has sparked significant discussion.
Readers who enjoy Bunny by Mona Awad are likely fans of dark academia, psychological thrillers, and satirical takes on social group dynamics. They might also appreciate works like The Secret History by Donna Tartt or Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado for their blend of literary fiction with unsettling and surreal elements.
