No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny
you are sooo genius!
*Margaret Atwood*
Hilarious and subversive, magical and knife-sharp. This novel – a
send-up of academia, an astute exploration of class in creative
circles, and an ode to the uncanny power of art – confirms Mona
Awad as one of our great chroniclers of what it means to be alive
right now
*Laura van den Berg*
It is not an exaggeration to say that I devoured Bunny – teeth,
fur, claws and all... A truly delectable novel that is equal parts
wit, fancy, and wickedness. Unafraid to challenge some sacrosanct
notions about women artists, female friendship, and writing, her
book is a compulsively readable testament to the sheer creative
force of loneliness and longing'
*Sarah Shun-lien Bynum*
One of the most pristine and delightful attacks on popular girls
since Clueless. Made me nod and cackle in terrified recognition
*Lena Dunham*
The Secret History meets Jennifer's Body. This brilliant, sharp,
weird book skewers the heightened rhetoric of obsessive female
friendship in a way I don't think I've ever seen before. I loved it
and I couldn't put it down
*Kristen Roupenian*
Awad's outstanding novel follows the highly addictive, darkly
comedic tale of sardonic Samantha Mackey, a poetry MFA student at a
top-tier New England school... An enchanting and stunningly bizarre
novel'
*Publishers Weekly*
A highly original, dark, gothic novel, at once exuberantly weird
and extremely funny
*The Bookseller*
To call this a dark comedy undersells the richness of its message,
and to say it's a satire misses its realism. Bunny is so sharp it
will leave you bloody
*Vulture*
By the time the first head explodes a third of the way through, you
wonder how Awad can possibly keep it up. But she's clearly had a
blast... And her sheer panache powers you through the hilarious,
hallucinogenic freakery'
*Daily Mail*
Throbbing with the kind of satire Heathers would f**k you gently
with a chainsaw for, this is one-of-a-kind delicious
*Heat*
A brilliant, utterly unique peek into the dark side of female
friendship. Part thriller, part horror, part teen drama, it's like
Mean Girls with added menace, and impossible not to relish
*Sunday Independent (Dublin)*
Picture that famous Bake Off scene; 'started making it, had a
breakdown, bon appetit', and welcome to the world of Bunny... Bunny
leaves you feeling bereft in a way where you have been fed
generously throughout the novel, only to be denied dessert... So
much of Sam's journey is left for you to decide in regards to
whether it was real or not. Was it a hallucination? Witchcraft?
Crack? Is it even real... I'm still deciding'
*Aurelia Magazine*
I went into reading Bunny knowing nothing at all about the plot.
All I'd heard is that it was like The Secret History meets
Jennifer's Body. Mona Awad crafts a story that feels like you've
stumbled across a lucid dream, and during lockdown last year I took
comfort in its weirdness, its humour and its darkness
*Bad Form Review*
A kooky 2020 novel... Bunny is a dark, weird, funny campus novel
about a tight group of girlfriends, reminiscent of the 1988 cult
film Heathers
*The Spinoff (NZ)*
