fav quote: “she liked Harry Styles a few years ago, and now she likes that white-bread, absolutely fucking baguette of a lad from Call Me by Your Name”. This book is p much just unhinged feral woman does unhinged feral things to men that get progessively more unhinged and feral. not sure i got the deeper commentary of it all but it was *interesting* to read ! the tw list gives an indication of the unhingedness at play lmao

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

I LOVED THIS.

When I first picked up the book, I was excited by the distinctly Northern and female narrative voice. (This was surprisingly refreshing, considering how many Northern women there are and that at least some of us - please, God, more of us - must be talented writers, but there you go.) Add the dark humour into the mix and this novel just becomes the perfect concoction: engaging, funny, original. Horrifying.

And then things get completely fucked up and you find yourself laughing at something absolutely repulsive and you realise that Eliza Clark's heroine is entirely under your skin.

Not for everybody, but absolutely for me.
