For me personally, I'd also remember Kathe Koja's early novels (eg The Cipher, Skin), House of Leaves, Penance by Erica Clark and Bunny by Mona Awad, but I don't know how memorable they are for others and I know many are 'love or hate'.
Bunny by Mona Awad
Bunny by Mona Awad also fits the bill. I love her books.
I also had Bunny by Mona Awad recommended but didn’t really enjoy it.
Bunny by Mona Awad might count.
Bunny is very very weird. Its got a bit of a dreamlike quality to it. ... 10/10
I hated Bunny, loved Rouge. I think it's a matter of different tastes, because i tore through it. I though Bunny was repetitive and confusing, so that's funny🤣
Bunny was great and I’m so excited for the sequel
Lmao haven't read the book cause I couldn't stand Bunny but this made me burst out laughing 😂 not redly and whitely
Bunny is one of my favourite books of all time! I read it in 48 hours and couldn’t put it down.
