Description: "It is not an exaggeration to say that I devoured Bunny --teeth, fur, claws and all. Mona Awad has written a truly delectable novel that is equal parts wit, fancy, and wickedness. Unafraid to challenge some sacrosanct notions about women artists, female friendship, and writing, her book is a compulsively readable testament to the sheer creative force of loneliness and longing." --Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, author of Madeline Is Sleeping and Miss Hempel Chronicles Praise for Mona Awad and 13 Ways of Being a Fat Girl : "Honest, searing, and necessary." -- Elle "Stunning . . . As you watch Lizzie navigate fraught relationships--with food, men, girlfriends, her parents and even with herself--you'll want to grab a friend and say: 'Whoa. This. Exactly.'" --Washington Post "A hilarious, heartbreaking book." -- People "Heartbreaking . . . [rife] with beauty and humor." --Chicago Tribune "[Awad's] prose is lively, while her insight into the often-baffling complexities of being a woman is touching and sharp." --The Atlantic "Awad is a fine writer with a keen sense of black humor, which makes this often sad story more entertaining than you might expect." -- NPR "Dark and caustically funny . . . [This] book somehow manages to strike a balance between depressing and hilarious." -- Time Out New York "Awad's sensitive, unflinching depiction of [Lizzie's struggle] is a valuable addition to the canon of American womanhood." --Time "With dark humor and heartbreaking honesty, Awad cuts away at diet culture and the pressure on women to make thinness and beauty their priority." --San Francisco Chronicle "Awad's writing is heartbreaking and witty, while her prose is insightful and sharp-elbowed in its caustic edge." --The Salt Lake Tribune "In this dark, honest debut, Awad sharply observes . . . the struggles of growing up, growing out, and trying to slim down, at any cost." --Marie Claire "Mona Awad writes exactly what you're thinking, and that's one of the many reasons you're going to love her debut. . . . [ 13 Ways ] announces her as a writer with real insight not only to the mind, but also to the heart." -- Bustle
