Bunny
by Mona Awad
Sarah's take
I recommend *Bunny* because it intricately weaves the complexities of identity and belonging into a darkly comedic narrative that will leave you questioning the boundaries of friendship and creativity. Perfect for readers who revel in stories that explore the emotional intricacies of female relationships and the often haunting nature of acceptance, this novel will linger in your mind long after the last page.
About the book
Samantha, an outsider at her elite MFA program, is reluctantly drawn into the saccharine "Bunny" clique when her isolation becomes unbearable. As she's inducted into their twisted creative rituals—where imagination literally manifests into grotesque, breathing creations—the line between artistic collaboration and psychological manipulation dissolves. A darkly funny exploration of female friendship, creative ambition, and the violence lurking beneath performative sweetness.
