Bunny by Mona Awad

“How empty and emptied I felt walking away with all my words still on his floor. Wanting so badly to pick them back up.”

Bunny is a funny little bloodbath that lies somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and Stephen King’s Carrie. Awad’s prose has an enchantingly contagious knack of otherworldliness that seeps so easily, I think, into everyday life. Bunny feels like some distant literary cousin of Mean Girls, and yet it feels unjustifiable to compare it to anything else when it reads so organically. Abstract, witty, and tricky to put down.
