Description
In the cult classic novel Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England, was first ostracized and then seduced by a clique of creepy-sweet rich girls who call themselves “Bunny.” An invitation to the Bunnies’ Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus workshops where monstrous creations are conjured with deadly and wondrous consequences.
When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed, kidnap her. Now a captive audience, it’s her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies’ side of the story. One by one, they take turns holding the axe, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers—and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship, Bunny.
Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is both a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete stand-alone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to another dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever-dream, Mona Awad.

I feel like I have no idea what I just read, but I also know exactly what I just read. I have all of the thoughts, and yet no thoughts. I have all of the feelings, and also none. I loved this so much, and I loved the ending. I want more.
This is a sequel to Bunny. It's ridiculous, it's dark, it's satire, it's another wild fever dream, it's right back where the first book took place, it's....everything Bunny ?
There are multiple POV'S and it gives you more insight to each of the cohort from the first book, and Jonah, it gives Jonah.
I feel like this will either hit or miss again with people. If you read the first and loved it, you're probably going to love this as well.
I will be thinking about this book for along time, as I did with Bunny. It's already one of my favorite books of the year.
I cannot wait until this is published so I can go into detail about it. I can't wait to talk about it with all the other Bunny lovers I know.
I cannot wait to go on reddit and discord and do a deep dive down the rabbit hole about theories and conspiracies and make this book part of my entire personality again. I cannot wait to buy the book, read Bunny again, and then read this. Highlight, tab, underline, everything.
Thank you Mona Awad, publishers, and Netgalley for this ARC on my birthday of all, days. I absolutely loved this book.

Oh Bunny, you’ve done it again. Mona Awad never disappoints and this prequel/sequel/stand-alone novel that brings us back into the surreal Bunny-verse may just be better than the original.
This fever dream novel takes you back to the beginning and gives you a much closer look at the Bunnies we met alongside Samanatha in Bunny. It is unabashedly wild, weird, funny and emotional all in one. Awad takes you places that you didn’t even know existed with a writing style that is unmatched. It’s obvious that Awad spent a lot of time crafting unique voices for each narrator, giving the story a unique style that we all know and love her for.
While there’s so much I want to dissect and discuss when it comes to the plot, I’m not here to give away any spoilers. All that’s left to say is you need to read this for yourself. Get your copy on September 23, Bunny.
