Description

The highly-anticipated follow up to the viral sensation Bunny, a brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud funny, dark and delirious novel set in the Bunny-verse – a world that Margaret Atwood declared ‘soooo genius’.

In the cult classic novel Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England, was first ostracised and then seduced by a clique of her saccharine sweet, rich girl cohort (who call one another ‘Bunny’). An invitation to the Bunnies’ Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus Workshops where monstrous creations are conjured with wondrous yet deadly consequences.

When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed, kidnap her. Now a captive audience, it’s her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies’ side of the story. One by one, they take turns holding the axe, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers ― and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship, Bunny. Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete standalone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to a dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever dream, Mona Awad.

‘Gleeful, grotesque and wildly off kilter, the novel is full of meta-fictional fun’ – Mail on Sunday

Review Quote

A goofy, overblown flower of a book with lots of thorns that pleasurably scratch’ — Guardian

‘Fresh yet nostalgic, darkly funny and a complete page-turner’ — Daily Mirror

'[A] dark, twisted satire of academia and the cultlike world of writers.' — New York Times

‘Layered with wild twists, it’s akin to Stephen King’s Misery crossed with Yellowface and The Secret History.’— Daily Mail

‘Rising stars [like Awad]…make a return this season… Twisted dark academia comes in the form of We Love You Bunny.’ – BBC, “The best culture to look forward to this autumn”

'Mona Awad has returned and her latest will get under your skin just the way her fans have come to expect.' — PEOPLE

'Dark comedy never had it so good.' — Hamilton Cain, The Boston Globe

'You don’t have to have read the original Bunny book to dive into this one—though it’s so good and strange that you really, really should. We Love You, Bunny serves as a prequel, a sequel, and a standalone journey into the bizarre Bunny hive-mind. It mashes up Mona Awad’s familiar combo of dark academia, fairytale-y and horror-y elements, and wry humor to tell the Bunnies’s origin story.' —Marie Claire, “The 20 Best New Novels You Need to Read in 2025”

‘[A] twisty sequel… Mona Awad’s long-awaited follow-up to her cult classic novel, Bunny, takes readers back into the eerily haunting universe of Samantha Heather Mackey–a world in which MFA students are really as scary as they seem.’ –Harper’s Bazaar, ‘The 30 Best Book Releases of Fall 2025’
