Bunny is a dark comedy of academia/horror/fairytale. I laughed many times and pretty much smiled the rest of the time while I was reading this masterpiece. Meeting back up with the Bunnies to get their side of the story is wickedly hilarious. There is a new and fascinating character that I fell madly in love with. Yes, bunny. I did.

I’ll be getting my hands on the audiobook as soon as it’s available since Sophie Amoss will be once again voicing the bunny tale. I couldn’t have loved this sequel more. If you enjoyed Bunny, don’t miss this. Okay, Bunny?

Slow at times, but absolutely the weirdest roller coaster of a series I’ve ever enjoyed.

Mona Awad delivers another surreal, chaotic, and strangely emotional ride in We Love You, Bunny. At moments, the pacing dragged a bit—but I was still completely hooked. This book made me want to laugh and scream at the same time. The absurdity, the satire, the horror… somehow it all worked.

If you loved Bunny, this expands the universe in the most unhinged and unexpected ways. It's bizarre, smart, and deeply unsettling—in the best way. Definitely not for everyone, but if you're into weird, you're in for a treat!

I found We Love You, Bunny to be easily readable, enticingly engaging, and very fun. It didn't flow as cohesively as I may have wanted to, but for me it was a necessary addition to my Mona Awad universe. This did feel a little bit like Mona wrote this book for Aerius' narrative alone, but I'm not mad about it. I enjoyed him very much!!

4.5 stars
Here we are back with We Love You, Bunny and it was just as weird as the first but now, knowing what to expect, I enjoyed this one immensely. Here we are going back and forth between the past and present with different POVs.
This book for me did fill the gaps of why is outside so dangerous exactly? And other type of questions when reading Bunny. I do like how it was written you don’t have many books that are like this one and I feel like not only was Bunny unique but We Love You, Bunny is still based around the same story but told in other POVs it still kept its uniqueness while adding more backstory.
I will say the only criticism I really have is when we get into the portions of the book that have the POV of Aerius. There is a lot emoji use. Specially smiley faces. And if you are a user who doesn’t have access to audiobooks, but does use, Alexa, Siri, or those types of means to read the book to you it will say “image” in those places and you will have no idea what type of image it is referring to so you have to be looking at the page at the time to see it if you can.
The only two books of Mona Awad’s that I’ve read so far have been Bunny and We Love You, Bunny. I definitely need to prioritize Mona‘s backlist to see if this type of writing that I am coming to find with her and these two books are just her style or something special because I do love it.

Thank you to Simon Element (S&S) for the complimentary copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wow...just wow. This is one of the most confusing, strange, and interesting novels I have read. It is everything Bunny was, but intensified. It answers a lot of questions from the first book, but raises so many more. Buckle up for craziness, Bunny.

Tried to read this for about 100 pages but just could NOT get past the weird internal monologue likeness of it. This just wasn't my cup of tea but perhaps it is someone else's!

Bunny is a favorite of mine, so I loved being able to delve back into the mysterious world at Warren! Some things were explained, but not all. Overall a very enjoyable read!

I had high hopes for this follow-up… HIGH HOPES… and We Love You, Bunny met and exceeded every expectation I had. This is not just a standard sequel that continues the story of Bunny, but a meta heavy continuation that breaths depth into the first book while offering something new as well. I especially loved the “don quixotefication” of the story. See: Don Quixote Part 2, and the use of a self referential narrative.

Immediately after finishing this book, I HAD to pick up Bunny again and give it another read, and it really had a whole new perspective, now bolstered by what we learn in We Love You, Bunny. Love it!!!

Weird, funny, and so entertaining. Going back to the story of Sam & the Bunnies from the other POV was such a cool experience, created a 360 view of the situation from all perspectives. Such a fun read, I adore everything Monday Awad comes out with. Her books have a weird quirky way of writing that is just so unique and fun.

“Well, this isn’t exactly fucking Frankenstein, Bunny’”

I was honored by NetGalley with an eARC and S&S for two (😱) physical ARCs in exchange for an honest review.


Oh, Bunny.

I loved Bunny by Mona Awad and a BIG reason is because you’re left with all these questions and theories. Did we need “We Love You, Bunny”? No. But I can always appreciate Mona Awad’s genius writing style.

We Love You, Bunny is a companion piece to the original Bunny. It’s the ultimate prequel and sequel to Bunny. How is that even possible? I was in awe of Awad’s powers. She flipped the script and made something new, strong, and totally wacky.

WLYB is a fever dream, think Willy Wonka’s boat scene.
The first part almost felt like fan fiction to Bunny. Which I actually liked and was my favorite part of WLYB. The bunnies are fucking crazy and powerful. There’s a lot of answers to questions from Bunny if you listen and pay attention.

I found myself bored through Aerius’s scenes. :(
It’s all written in monologue which can be monotonous and laborious. :(
I still liked the plot but for me personally it dragged during his parts. :(

I loved the mentions of classic literature throughout. I mean they are at a prestigious ivy league school, Bunny. It actually did feel like Frankenstein.

Overall, I love Mona Awad. I’ll read anything she writes. I am having a hard time rating this wild ride. No formal rating but it felt like a 3 star to me.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster books for the ARCs

this was such a trip! So so so fun

i was raving about this book to a friend recently and she asked me “so, do you think this was a necessary addition to the bunny universe?” and i said “idk, but it was fun, bunny!”*

the new perspectives in this book were SOOOO good, I couldn’t put it down.

mona awad is a literary genius and i love, love, love her, k? (and she said “really?” and i said “omg, totally”)

thank you to S&S and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review

*ok, I didn’t actually call her bunny but that would have been, like, so fitting, right?

We love you Bunny, we really do, but well, this just wasn't that necessary was it?

I was so stoked to read this, so maybe my excitement combined with how much I enjoyed the first book set my expectations too high. I was super into this at first. I loved getting the backstory on each of the women, and felt like they all had lots of depth. But... Aerius. I hated his sections with a passion. They were just super boring honestly, and way too long. I also really, really can't stand when a book addresses you as 'reader. And it's on every single page. Sometimes 2-3 times per page. It takes me out of the book to be addressed, and I just hate using the term 'reader' as someone's name. Other than the constant 'reader', I did enjoy the writing style a lot. I also really liked how Bunny felt like a fever dream. This book addressed a lot of that mystery in Bunny, which I actually didn't find necessary. But, I did really like the ending and how everything came together, so I feel really mixed on this one.

Thank you to Simon Element & NetGalley for the ARC.

Full disclosure, I struggled with Bunny. While I could recognize the writing skill and appreciate how well woven together the story was, it wasn’t for me thematically. But I wanted to give book 2 a chance when I was sent a widget for it as I was intrigued by the other perspective offered.

When a book is part of an intended series many book 2’s are the weakest of the collection falling into a slump. On the other hand planned duologies usually don’t fall into the same problem. So when this sequel (which I believe is meant to be a duology only) fell short I was surprised especially with the usual skill of the author.

It reminded me of really good fan-fiction to be quite frank. Where book one had so many subtleties that made the reader think and explore the various themes, this one was as subtle as a sledgehammer. Not only that, it was constant. It didn’t give the reader a chance to reflect and ruminate on the subtext.

Now I did enjoy the perspective of the Bunnies. I do wish their POVs were interwoven instead of in sections but that’s a personal opinion.

So while this book was still creative and provocative it does seem like it was trying too hard and just doesn’t have the same impact that Bunny did.

Do I think it’s worth reading? Absolutely. It can be eye opening to many and it can be read as a stand alone if you didn’t read the first. Actually I think if you haven’t read Bunny, you may enjoy this as an entry into the world.

I am thankful to have gotten a complimentary eARC from Simon Element through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

My general rating system is below. Since I primarily read ARC books I rate according to how I think like minded readers will receive the book. I will round up or down depending on many factors and try not to let my personal wants affect a books ratings.

⭐️ Hated It but pushed through as so don’t DNF ARCs I have received.
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, content issues, poorly edited.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but it had something that stopped me from rounding up. Usually the book may have much more potential than what was given. I recommend it but with reservations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Really enjoyed it or think others will. These are solid reads that I definitely would recommend for a variety of reasons.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! These are books that remain rent free in my head for well after unfinished the book. It can be for a variety of reasons from being very well written or just the vibes that captured my mind. These books are also ones I would probably read again.

Let me start by saying that Bunny is one of my all-time favorite books. Mona Awad is an auto-buy author for me and I have been so looking forward to this sequel!

Weird girl books will always have my heart and I fear that nothing can top the absolute confusion and weirdness that you are thrown into in book 1. We Love You, Bunny is more of a prequel-sequel. It’s mainly the events of book 1 told through the perspective of the Bunnies, with a dash of a sequel. I absolutely adored being back into the world of the Bunnies once again and this book was a trip. Mona Awad is such a witty writer and her work always finds me genuinely laughing out loud. Her writing and narrative voice remain as sharp and eclectic as ever in this book.

This “prequel” is the (true?) version of events as told by the Bunnies. If the first book felt like a trip on acid, this second book felt like waking up the next day covered in glitter. Still very much weird but a bit less subtle. Think Heathers meets Lisa Frankenstein. This book does answer a lot of questions and confusion that resulted from book 1, but a bit of the magic is lost when explanations are given. ☹️

Still very much loved this book as I simply adore this universe and Mona Awad’s writing. Nothing can ever top Bunny, but We Love you Bunny is a good sequel that gives us another opportunity to delve deeper into the world of the Bunnies. 🙂

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with an arc.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing an advance copy of this title.. Rating: 2 stars.

After having read Bunny, and loving it, I was excited to start this sequel. I found Samantha’s voice compelling in the original and was looking forward to see how she was faring now away from Warren. I was very disappointed to find that this tale was almost exclusively told in the Bunnies voices, as well as one of their creations. I found them to be the least interesting characters in the original, and had a difficult time getting through this book. I kept at it as I admire the authors writing style and thought there might be a payoff at the end. There was, a slight one, hence the 2 stars, but ultimately didn’t redeem the rest of the tale. Overall, had it been any other author, I most likely wouldn’t finish it. The dialogue was grating, and the characters annoying at best, bordering on insufferable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.

This was potentially more of a trip than the original!! Both humorous and emotional. I truly enjoyed it. However, I feel like there were certain points where there was too much or too little happening. Overall I'm so glad there's more content in this universe.
Thanks to NetGalley, Simon Element, S&S/ Marysue Rucci Books for the digital ARC :)

Mona Awad's We Love You, Bunny returns to the outlandish Warren University of Bunny. This time we dive further into the Bunnies' creative process, seeing how they "tap the wound" from their perspective. I found myself flying through the chapters and loved the multiple perspectives. This book works as a prequel or a sequel to the 2019 Bunny, so you can read and enjoy this novel even if you haven't read it. We Love You, Bunny is for fans of Frankenstein and the Heathers. It will have you pondering creation and the nature of reality.

6 stars

There are no words for how much I love you, Bunny. But seeing as how this is a review, and how I am desperate to convert every he, she, and they to the cult of Aerius, I will try with all my might.

I'm not going to lie, I was a tiny bit skeptical of Mona Awad adding anything at all to
a narrative that is easily one of my all-time favorites. The original/first book, "Bunny," is a fever dream of comic, dark art-school academia paired with campy horror brilliance, and I feared it would be impossible to recreate that magic.

I am so happy to say I was wrong. "We Love you, Bunny" does all that and more. I always recommend going into "Bunny" as blind as possible, and I will recommend this one the same way. Another potentially unconventional recommendation, based purely on my instinct, is actually that if you haven't read "Bunny" yet... read this one first. And then gobble up "Bunny." It will definitely work both ways.

A million thanks to Mona Awad for gracing us with "We Love You, Bunny." We humans are not worthy. (Only Pony is worthy.)

Also, many thanks to Mary Sue Rucci for a stunning galley and NetGalley for an e-galley in exchange for an honest review. I'm honestly OBSESSED and CHANGED.

First and foremost, thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Mona Awad is an autobuy author for me, and bunny was my first introduction to her. We Love You, Bunny, is delicious. It’s got the fever dream sexuality I’ve come to expect and adore from her, and the satire I love.
A commentary on art and creativity through the girlie hive mind was everything I didn’t know I needed, and everything I wanted. I think I like this one better than bunny if for no other reason than the bunnies are finally getting their turn to speak.

Getting approved for this one felt like an early birthday gift.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.⁣

When I saw that Mona Awad was releasing another book set in the Bunny universe, I knew I needed to get my hands on it. This was just as compelling, just as funny, and had just as much of a fever-dream feel as the first book. We Love You, Bunny leads up to the events of Bunny, as well as a bit after, all from the perspective of the Bunnies and a new character, Aerius. It was fun getting each of these perspectives, and though five feels like a lot, they all have very distinct voices.⁣

This story had the same wit and satire as Bunny, if not ramped up a bit. I felt as though the undertone of the story was a critique on muses—what a muse is, and the ownership of muses/ideas—and found it to be done in an interesting and thought-provoking way. My only issue with the book was that parts felt like they dragged on a bit, but overall I really enjoyed the story. If you loved Bunny, I think you’ll appreciate this one as well, and I would implore you not to pass it up. If your name is Allan, however, you may find it a bit triggering. 😉🤣
