Join us for an evening with bestselling author Mona Awad, in conversation with Amy Jones, discussing her new novel We Love You, Bunny.
We Love You, Bunny is 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.
Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is both a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete stand-alone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to another dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever-dream, Mona Awad.
Mona Awad is the bestselling author of the novels Rouge, All’s Well, Bunny, and 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl.

It is currently being developed for film with Bad Robot Productions. Rouge is being adapted for film by Fremantle and Sinestra.
