My thoughts while reading it

Hold on to your carrot sticks, folks! “Bunny” by Mona Awad takes you on a whimsical rollercoaster ride through a rabbit hole that’s part Alice in Wonderland and part “What on earth did I just read?”

Imagine a world where university writing groups aren’t just filled with pretentious musings over symbolism and metaphors, but instead, they morph into a bunny cult of unimaginable weirdness. Mona Awad has concocted a literary stew so delightfully absurd that even Alice from Wonderland would scratch his head and mutter, “Curiouser and curiouser.”

Our protagonist, Samantha, is an unwitting participant in the Bunny brigade – a group of rich girls who make Mean Girls look like a tea party with teddy bears. These Bunnies don’t just nibble on lettuce; they nibble on the edges of reality, leaving you questioning whether you’ve accidentally stumbled into an alternate dimension where furry creatures rule the academia.

The novel’s brilliance lies in Awad’s ability to seamlessly blend the mundane with the utterly ridiculous. From bunny-themed rituals that make your average secret handshake look passé to dialogues so absurd they’d make a stand-up comedian jealous, “Bunny” is a literary kaleidoscope that leaves you giggling, scratching your head, and perhaps contemplating whether your next party should involve bunny ears and a carrot-shaped scepter.

The plot, if you can call it that, hops and skips like an over-caffeinated rabbit on an espresso binge. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on the narrative, Awad throws in another curveball, and you find yourself plummeting down yet another rabbit hole of confusion and hilarity.

The characters are as quirky as a rabbit with a penchant for tap dancing. You’ll meet Bunnies who redefine eccentric, and Samantha’s journey from outsider to unwitting Bunny aficionado is a testament to Awad’s ability to blend the surreal with the strangely relatable.

In conclusion, “Bunny” is not your typical novel; it’s a literary acid trip down the rabbit hole. If you’re looking for a story that defies convention, embraces the absurd, and leaves you questioning the sanity of both the characters and yourself, then buckle up and join the Bunny cult. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself craving carrots and contemplating the deeper meaning of bunny hops. Bravo, Mona Awad – you’ve crafted a hare-raising masterpiece! 🐰✨
