This was genuinely so fucking wild. It's like a modern American Psycho set around the power imbalance women have.

this book was absolutely crazy. i did not realize what i signed up for when i started it and HOLY COW. the plot twist about halfway through had me legitimately screaming "WHAT THE FUCK"  at my kindle for several minutes. loved the tension, intensity, and pacing. i felt like the characterizations and use of an unreliable narrator were done in a way that really elevated the experience of reading, i was completely captivated.  absolutely phenomenal debut novel, a new top recommendation.

What the actual fuck did i just read? What was the plot of the book here? What are we talking about here? Why is it written so poorly? I cant get over "as the kids say, woke". I feel like you're going to be a best selling author, at least use proper grammar or have at least a plot? Worst book I have read so far. It's also tetering on the edge of racist and has waaayyy too much sexual assault in it. I did not like reading from the point of view of someone who was basically a r*pist. It felt like the loophole to not break that line for the author was to add "and then i asked if he was ok". So uncomfy and so confusing.

 Was not expecting to but really loved this. Messed up but in a way that escalated throughout the story so that it had a good pace and was addictive. Also feels a bit hallucinogenic in that you finish it not really sure whether certain things happened and on an open-ended note. Was nervous about this one as I didn't get on with Bunny at all which seems to be a similar recommendation to this, but the writing in Boy Parts is much more conversational with a bit of humour in there too.

I can't say I liked the book because I truly didn't, which is weird because unhinged women characters is my cup of tea. But damn Irina was truly unlikable. Some parts were funny but the whole book was just an acid trip. Very much unreliable narrator which I loved. Ultimately I kept reading the book because I simply couldn't stop. I guess the story was entertaining and Irina was so crazy I wanted to see what the hell she would do next. I feel like nothing really happend, the closing of the book wasn't strong enough for me so I don't think I'll be recommending or reading this book again.
