About this listen
The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel about a lonely graduate student drawn into a clique of rich girls.
'We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?'
Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort - a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other 'Bunny' and are often found entangled in a group hug so tight they become one.
But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled 'Smut Salon' and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door - ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunnies, the edges of reality begin to blur, and her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies are brought into deadly collision.
A spellbinding, down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, creativity and agency, and friendship and desire, Bunny is the dazzlingly original second book from the author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl.

Not for me
Not for me, but I can see how it might be for some people. It felt convoluted and dreamlike, but without anything really meaningful to say.
Worst Scottish accent I've ever heard in my life, but the rest of the performance was fine (the Bunnies had supremely irritating voices, but I get that was intentional).

Performance was great but...
...this was the worst Scottish accent ever. She just shouldn't have done it. Ugh.

Beautifully written but hard to listen too
Although the narrator was amazing i think this is a better read than listen. It usually takes me 2-3 days to finish books, but i had this one one month to finish. Im not easily disturbed but its more like at time is confusing. And i didnt ewant to go back and re listen- but i give my recommendations beacuse its very bizzare and not at all what i expected

Oh Bunny!
Strange and funny, very much recommended for anyone who struggles with friendships and has a vivid imagination.
The narrator does the worst Scottish accent I’ve ever heard. Otherwise it’s a fine performance but the terrible accent does take you out of the story a bit.

Better to read than listen, should embrace surrealism more
I think it’s meant to be funnier than the reader expressed-but not sure. The accent is not great (I couldn’t tell what it was meant to be) but it was an interesting concept & setting. Would like to have understood the main character more, and would have liked a braver delve into surrealism, but I’m not sure that it was quite aiming for that possibly.
Would definitely have enjoyed to read this as a teenager!

Wonderfully weird
I bought this book in January of 2023 and have just now finished it on Halloween on the same year. I purchased it thinking I was going to get a sort of mix of Mean Girls and The Craft, but was surprised and the direction it took. The narrator did her best but was unfortunately dumbfounded by a male character’s Scottish accent which would drag me out of the story every time he appeared, but I understand it’s rough to do and applaud her for trying. Either way I thoroughly enjoyed the story, even if it flabbergasted me at times.

Misunderstood Feminine Horror
I personally didn't love this book but I can objectively appreciate the beauty in it. Awad writes with such poetic language and makes a really visceral statement on female relationships. It felt like a crazy fever dream reading this. I appreciated the genre subversion and rat girl to bunny girl to rat girl pipeline. It's definitely one for arthouse literature students to study and dissect but if you're a casual reader just looking to be entertained i'd give it a miss.

That was something
I have no idea what to feel, I think I liked it? But I have no idea of what happened… in a good way?

What a ride!
This was wild! I loved it, so funny, so sad, so insane!
Worst Scottish accent I’ve ever heard but other than that the narration was great.
