Bunny by Mona Awad

If you love a bit (or a lot) of twisted darkness mixed in with your comedy, Bunny by Mona Awad is the book for you.

Samantha Heather Mackey has never really fit in.

In high school, she spent her time tucked away in a corner at her mother’s hair salon, compulsively writing monster stories inspired by pulp horror paperbacks.

Writing steadily through college, she is thrilled when she is accepted to an elite, and very experimental, writing school for her MFA.

That’s when she finds herself unable to write much of anything at all.

Luckily she has Ava, her eccentric and gothic friend to keep her grounded.

Until… the Bunnies, a clique of girls who drip saccharinity, exclusivity and all go by the name Bunny, take an interest in her.

After accepting an invitation to the Bunnies’ “Smut Salon,” Samantha finds herself deeply entrenched into their group, wandering around in a sugary haze and answering to “Bunny.”

When the Bunnies introduce her to their grisly and rather messy “project,” she finds herself in her own monster horror story.

Curl up in the sun (preferably away from any rabbits) and prepare to be delightfully horrified by Bunny.
