About this listen
The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel about a lonely graduate student drawn into a clique of rich girls.
'We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?'
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 - ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunnies, the edges of reality begin to blur, and her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies are brought into deadly collision.
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.

It reads like a fan fic of Daria and Jane going to college but it’s also a horror. Which has its merit.
I don’t know if it was easier or harder listening as an audiobook rather than reading pages. Thank god the cringey Scottish imitation was only for a minor character. But having someone else read meant that I pushed through and in the last 1/4 of this book I suddenly became invested. And that fact only confirmed what I had felt all along -
This could have been an epic short story.

I did find it quite hard to follow, I felt the narrative was quite jumpy and found myself having to re listen to parts over to make sure I wasn’t lost.
One thing I will say is that I thought it was well read, but I could not see past the Scottish accent that was so so poor, like it actually made me laugh. I thought he was German!
Was that Scottish?
