I do think the main thing I struggled with was pinpointing the satire. The Bunnies are clearly satire, but Sam herself (+ Ava) is such a capital O Outsider (an argument which the book so kindly preempts) that she also comes off as a cliche. Despite the fact I should relate to her in this way, it's hard to sink into her at first. The outsiderness is strongest when it focuses on real signifiers of privilege/lack thereof. Not so much when focused on superficial aspects of the super-feminine that are harmless.
P.S. Found Sam's narration oddly ableist for a protagonist we're supposed to find sympathetic.

İ know some people really enjoyed that but İ didn't find the characters likeable or interesting enough to enjoy it myself. Awad is an excellent writer and i enjoyed the structure or ~the body~ ;) but the plot was a bit hard to follow. That may be because İ listened to the audiobook though, so İ think I'd rate the book higher for paperback. The ending especially felt out of nowhere even though it did have sufficient lead up? İdk it's worth a try if you're into funky stuff but definitely need to be in the mood for it and i highly suggest a physical copy instead of audiobook.
İ wouldn't say it's scary but it's got horror elements so if you're sensitive to that beware.
