Mona Awad is writing some of the most fascinating and accessible weird fiction out there. This is a stupendous follow up to Bunny, that builds on what Bunny built while fully re-contextualizing it. Awad uses her own characters to hammer at the flaws of her own novel and break it wide open with an earth shattering follow up. It's a sequel, but also a prequel, and something else entirely. I am a fan of Awad completely, and admire her creativity and ambition to keep pushing the envelope. A second novel more than worthy of the first.

Ok, deep breath, GALLEY BRAGGGG!!! (s/o) If you liked BUNNY by Mona Awad, hot damn you are gonna love WE LOVE YOU, BUNNY when it comes out in September. All your favorite characters are back! Everyone is still called Bunny! Insane things happen on a creepy campus and we are loving every minute of it!

WIth this being a sequel, it is clear that we can now say the "Bunny" books have such a specific language that only Awad can pull off. I got completely lulled back into the rhythm of this very particular language and cadence, and especially loved one character's POV chapters (but I don't want to spoil anything just yet). I read BUNNY when it come out in 2019 so I didn't remember all of the details, but this could easily be a stand alone book. It's a prequel, a sequel, and a retelling all in one. There really isn't anything else like it, Bunny.

Mona Awad is a genius. I could end the review right there, but I won’t because I want you to know how good this book is.

When the prequel/sequel was announced, so many of my friends in my book group lost their minds in excitement. I had the first Bunny but had not read it and they gave me some serious FOMO about it so I knew it was time. Right as I started reading it, I received the ARC of We Love You, Bunny. So I went straight from one to the other.

The two books form a masterful look at creativity, sexuality, friendships, and mental illness. It’s funny, scary, heartbreaking, and just plain brilliant. The way the two books mirror each other in so many ways, turning everything you thought you knew about the first book on its head and has so many 🤯 moments I was damn near dizzy by the end. The multiple POVs in the second book also create such a different experience to not just be watching from Samantha’s mind but all of the Bunnies (and one bonus POV that will absolutely blow your mind).

These are books that I’m going to sit and think about A LOT. They are almost Moby Dickian in the fact that they can be read on their surface level and be very much enjoyed but when you start digging into symbolism and metaphor, you realize you are in the hands of an absolute master. I can’t stress it enough, read these books!!!

Mona Awad writes such creative books, and this one is no exception. The sequel to Bunny was excellent and those who liked the first book will enjoy this one as well. Definitely give it a read! Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this ARC.
