Bunny by Mona Awad
4.0
i think I scribbled “wtf” no less than 10 times in the margins of this book. Every couple of pages, I’d think “what did i just read??” And yet I couldn’t put it down.
As others have said, this book reads like a cross between Heathers, Frankenstein, and The Secret History. I was expecting more secret history/girly cult vibes, but was enthralled by the absolute horror created by the Frankenstein aspect. But make no mistake, Bunny certainly has a mind of its own as well.
Awad’s narrative choices in part 2 were particularly captivating-i felt like i was truly in the MIND of a bunny (or perhaps a bunny-made creation with no agency or choice in the matter).
Reminiscent on Woolf’s, “Mrs. Dalloway,” Awad’s “Bunny” truly immerses the reader into the writing and the chaotic rambling mind of the main character. I love reading a book that both a) makes me truly believe i am in the characters mind, and b) subsequently makes me question my own sanity and whether or not “im” the bad guy.
