Bunny: A Novel

<b><b>"Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter<br /><br />"A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." <i>—</i>Michael Schaub, <i>Los Angeles Times </i></b><i><br /><br /></i>"Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, <i>The Washington Post</i><br /><i><br />The Vegetarian </i>meets <i>Heathers</i> in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of <i>13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl</i></b><br /><br /><i>"We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?"</i><br /><br />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 seem to move and speak as one. <br /><br />But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. <br /><br />The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, <i>Bunny </i>is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.<br /><br /><br /><b>Named a Best Book of 2019 by <i>TIME, Vogue, </i>and The New York Public Library</b>
