Horrifyingly brilliant; themes of power, sexuality and class; mind the trigger warnings as definitely not for everyone

5.0

incredibly addicting and graphic writing that pulls you in and makes you sick; the worst parts of being a woman today shown through a self-destructive main character who is both deeply relatable and unlikeable

This was yet another recommendation off of TikTok and oh my GOODNESS, this is hardcore 😂

I wasn’t expecting all of this darkness and unlikeability! The main character needed therapy more than anything in life, but I found it so fascinating how easily manipulated everyone else was around her too 😳

We all knew it was coming I suppose, but I still couldn’t help feel very upset by her killing the boy!

I’d say at some parts, I couldn’t stop, and at some parts I put the book down and felt a bit meh 🤷🏻‍♀️ The ways of an untrustworthy narrator I suppose.

This one gets 3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨

Where to begin?! Boy Parts isn’t a ‘typical’ read for me and felt like a whole lot of “minimal plot, all vibes” kind of book and I wasn’t totally mad at it. 

The characters? Awful (for the most part)

Irina? Unreliable, spiraling, and the funniest (but dark) narrator I’ve met in a long time. It’s gross, unrelenting, and (honestly) kind of sad in many ways.

I don’t know if I actually liked this book, but it was a really…fun? interesting? different?…read for me. 

Also, Eddie from Tesco deserved better
