"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, a caustic art school dropout, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunny cult and starts to take part in their ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they magically conjure their monstrous creations, 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 an author whose work has been described as "honest, searing and necessary" (Elle)" --… (more)

I'm trying to get better at giving up on books I'm not super feeling rather than stubbornly sticking with them once I'm a quarter of the way in due to sunk cost fallacy!

This is one of those books where I knew I'd have to read the whole thing to figure out if I liked it or hated it, which feels common with darker books that use deadpan/ironic humor. But it started feeling like it was dragging and if I'm going to go along for that kind of ride I really want to feel like I'm sucked in. This one didn't feel that way, so I'm letting it goooooo

I have no clue how to describe this book but I loved it. After finishing it, I immediately wanted to start it over. Wow. The ending was exactly what I wanted it to be. ( )

This is pretty great. Not usually taken with horror-and-magic stuff and I did tire of it a little towards the end, but it's all in the service of the writing and the story. The satire is on the nose, the writing is sharp and funny. Thematically not much new, but very well done. ( )
