#21 - "We Love You, Bunny"

Horror / Literary Fiction

★★★½

So, Bunny, I didn't love you this time. But the bunnyverse and literary flair kept me.

↓ review below

We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad:

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 am honestly shocked that I am giving only 3.5 stars to the sequel (well, kind of) of one of my favorite books ever. Don't get me wrong, there is still so much to love about this metafiction gem. The literary flair is there, the metaphors are everywhere, and the writing is as flawless as Mona usually gives us. The bonus POV is hilarious, gory, unhinged and weird in the best way. Each bunny has a distinct voice with its own rhythm and lyrical touch, and that part definitely delivered. There is a lot added to the bunnyverse too, but let me be clear. I do not agree at all that this works as a standalone. You need the original to understand the context, the tone, and why the whole concept matters. Without that, so much of the world building and emotional sense of the universe would feel strange. Some parts also felt overexplained, which lessened the impact of certain metaphors for me. It is spelled out in several ways, including near the end. What made Bunny special for me was the space for interpretation, the ambiguity, the many possible meanings. The pacing also felt slow to me. Even though this is a journey of discovery and we are not expecting a conventional narrative from Mona, it still dragged a lot for me. Basically, I loved the ideas and I loved the writing, but the execution did not always match. Mixed feelings in the end.
