Bunny
von Mona Awad
*A summer reading pick for the NEW YORK TIMES and COSMOPOLITAN * 'Brilliant, sharp, weird ... I loved it and couldn't put it down' KRISTEN ROUPENIAN. 'Made me nod and cackle in terrified recognition' LENA DUNHAM. Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort – a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other 'Bunny', and are often found entangled in a group hug so tight they become one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled 'Smut Salon', and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunnies, the boundary between fiction and reality begins to blur. A spellbinding, down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, creativity and agency, and friendship and desire, Bunny is the dazzlingly original second book from the author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl . 'Hilarious and subversive, magical and knife-sharp' LAURA VAN DEN BERG. 'Equal parts wit, fancy, and wickedness' SARAH SHUN-LIEN BYNUM. 'Enchanting and stunningly bizarre' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY .

Rezension von HelenI've heard people say this is dark academia. That could not have been more wrong.
Rezension von Blissey“Whenever I read one of Victoria’s vignettes, I always feel so dumb because I can hardly understand them at all. And then I blame myself. I think, Kira, this must be just too brilliant for you to grasp. Surely you must have missed something. Even though there’s always been this small voice inside of me that says, Um, what the fuck is this, please? This makes no sense. This is coy and this is willfully obscure and no one but Victoria will ever get this. I would in fact need to live inside Victoria’s spoiled, fragmented, lazy, pretentious little mind to get it.”
Rezension von AntoniaThis feels like a fever dream but in the best way possible. Mona Awad is a brilliant writer and I loved the way she played with povs throughout the book. Definitely confusing but it's supposed to be and I love how the magical realism makes you question what's going on the whole time.
Rezension von EniIf you didn't read the backcover like me this book feels like being druged with a reasonable amount of mushrooms by a stranger. You don't know what the fuck is going on. No way of telling what is real and whats not without the acceptance a voluntary trip might have granted you. I loved it and I hated it. I might have loved it more without trying to cling to some sense of logic. I am in awe with the creativity and fantasy that went into Bunny. "Wow Bunny I am speechless!"
Rezension von luisaIch war eigentlich durchgehend verwirrt & etwas verstört, fand es aber dennoch super faszinierend, unterhaltsam & fesselnd! So schnell werde ich das Buch sicher nicht vergessen.
