Awad Novel Shortlisted for Giller Prize
“We Love You, Bunny” is one of five books nominated for the award.

We Love You, Bunny, the upcoming novel from creative writing professor Mona Awad, is one of five books that have been shortlisted for the 2025 Giller Prize. The $100,000 award annually recognizes the best in Canadian fiction.
A sequel to Awad’s 2019 cult classic Bunny, Simon & Schuster describes her newest work as “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.”
The winner of the 2025 Giller Prize will be announced on Nov. 17.
