O \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e you are sooo genius! -- Margaret Atwood\u003cbr\u003eHilarious and subversive, magical and knife-sharp. This novel – a send-up of academia, an astute exploration of class in creative circles, and an ode to the uncanny power of art – confirms Mona Awad as one of our great chroniclers of what it means to be alive right now -- Laura van den Berg\u003cbr\u003eIt is not an exaggeration to say that I devoured \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e – teeth, fur, claws and all... A truly delectable novel that is equal parts wit, fancy, and wickedness. Unafraid to challenge some sacrosanct notions about women artists, female friendship, and writing, her book is a compulsively readable testament to the sheer creative force of loneliness and longing' -- Sarah Shun-lien Bynum\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most pristine and delightful attacks on popular girls since \u003ci\u003eClueless\u003c\/i\u003e.

This brilliant, sharp, weird book skewers the heightened rhetoric of obsessive female friendship in a way I don't think I've ever seen before. I loved it and I couldn't put it down -- Kristen Roupenian\u003cbr\u003eAwad's outstanding novel follows the highly addictive, darkly comedic tale of sardonic Samantha Mackey, a poetry MFA student at a top-tier New England school... An enchanting and stunningly bizarre novel' * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eA highly original, dark, gothic novel, at once exuberantly weird and extremely funny * The Bookseller *\u003cbr\u003eTo call this a dark comedy undersells the richness of its message, and to say it's a satire misses its realism. \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e is so sharp it will leave you bloody * Vulture *\u003cbr\u003eBy the time the first head explodes a third of the way through, you wonder how Awad can possibly keep it up. But she's clearly had a blast...

Part thriller, part horror, part teen drama, it's like \u003ci\u003eMean Girls\u003c\/i\u003e with added menace, and impossible not to relish * Sunday Independent (Dublin) *\u003cbr\u003ePicture that famous \u003ci\u003eBake Off\u003c\/i\u003e scene; 'started making it, had a breakdown, bon appetit', and welcome to the world of \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e... \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e leaves you feeling bereft in a way where you have been fed generously throughout the novel, only to be denied dessert... So much of Sam's journey is left for you to decide in regards to whether it was real or not. Was it a hallucination? Witchcraft? Crack? Is it even real... I'm still deciding' * Aurelia Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eI went into reading \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e knowing nothing at all about the plot. All I'd heard is that it was like \u003ci\u003eThe Secret History\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eJennifer's Body\u003c\/i\u003e. Mona Awad crafts a story that feels like you've stumbled across a lucid dream, and during lockdown last year I took comfort in its weirdness, its humour and its darkness * Bad Form Review *\u003cbr\u003eA kooky 2020 novel... \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e is a dark, weird, funny campus novel about a tight group of girlfriends, reminiscent of the 1988 cult film \u003ci\u003eHeathers\u003c\/i\u003e * The Spinoff (NZ) *","brand":"Mona Awad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745890382041,"sku":"9781035920914","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/71nQrDqa24L._SL1500_7f353286-a843-42c0-a00c-6591f762e1d0.jpg?v=1779869411","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/bunny-the-stunning-new-special-edition-of-the-iconic-weird-girl-book-9781035920914","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
