"The first book followed Samantha, an alienated, cash-strapped creative writing student cold-shouldered by her workshop cohort, a cabal of four ultra-feminine rich girls who all call each other Bunny. The Bunnies wear fluffy dresses, eat mini food and as Samantha learns when she's finally inducted into their cult express their creativity through demonic rites that involve exploding rabbits. Samantha has to transcend them to find her voice as an artist. The story of Bunny is the result."
"We Love You, Bunny begins with Samantha bound and gagged in an attic. The Bunnies surround her, congratulating her venomously on the success of her book. Now they want to tell their story. Passing an axe like a talking stick, they introduce us to four versions of their Bunny-centric world. Then they pass the mic to a special guest. While Awad happily annihilates her characters,"
The story opens with Samantha bound and gagged in an attic, surrounded by the Bunnies who congratulate her venomously and demand their story. The Bunnies pass an axe like a talking stick and present four alternate Bunny-centric versions of campus life before handing the mic to a special guest. The narrative skewers upper-middle-class American femininity through performative affection, binge-watching reality TV, literary affectation, and repressed rage that erupts into violent spectacle. The Bunnies' psychic mind-meld blends intimacy with cruelty as each member channels a different precious-girl genre, while Samantha's past induction and her need to transcend the cult remain central.
