Now, Bunny is one of my favorite books of all time and got me hooked on reading the rest of Mona Awad’s novels. The way that she is able to bring you into a complete world of delusion in her stories is so uniquely creative and I can’t wait to get on the ride every time. Here’s her complete novel collection, in order they were published:

13 Ways Of Looking At A Fat Girl (2016)
I will preface and say that this book is definitely not for everyone, but wow it WAS for sure for me!! This was so wonderfully clever, witty, and unexplainedly funny as well as real, sometimes sad, and often frustrating. While I do understand some of the critiques online about this book, it didn’t feel like stereotyping to me. This was very much Kat-from-Euphoria-core and anyone who has ever felt “fat” will likely really enjoy the commentary that this book creates. I’m so impressed by this book, honestly.

Bunny (2020)
This was my second time reading this book, and it’s one of my forever favorites. It’s just a brilliant novel. If you’ve never read it, just go into it knowing that it’s a weird girl dark academia fever dream with a sorority slasher sprinkle. *Spoilers ahead* After listening to theories, I’m really into the idea that the “darlings” were characters imagined in a vigorous workshop program and the Bunnies are other women in this cohort. They create and kill characters, until they find one that finally works (Max) and the Bunny’s all steal the character and create their own name for him. Max kills Ava (who is also a character that she had been working on for her thesis) because his character ultimately works better than the Ava character and she has to die as a result. Whatever the theory, I really can’t recommend this book more. It’s the most delusional, wild ride that I can’t wait to go on again.

All’s Well (2022)
Unfortunately, this one isn’t one of my favorites. I really wish I understood more of the symbolism and references, and then maybe I would have liked it more? There’s a lot of Shakespeare and theater themes, alongside an unlikeable main character who is suffering from chronic pain. There is a lot of good commentary on illness and pain, which is why I say that I wish I understood it more. I liked the way it was written and I didn’t have a bad time while reading it, but I just wish I got it. I still love Mona Awad, but I think this one could be skipped.

Rouge (2023)
This takes you completely into the fever dream that Mona Awad loves to write in, and I’d say this was more comparable to Bunny than her other two books. The dream-like/cult state of the main character is the biggest parallel, though Rouge is a different journey entirely. Centered around themes of beauty industry pressures, mother/daughter relationships, grief, and more – the story was like a wild skincare routine that is sometimes painful and tedious, but forever thorough. So much symbolism with the jellyfish, the roses, the skincare rituals, and Tom Cruise – I mean Seth! – who mirrors an Egyptian god. I wish I understood more of it, but that’s sorta the ride you take with her books. This was really different from anything I’ve read and that why I keep going back to Mona Awad.

We Love You, Bunny (2025)
Reading now!

I hope she publishes more!
