Boy Parts by Eliza Clark

Picked up this book thinking that this will be a whirlwind tale of a complicated relationship. It turns out to be so so different and YO this book took me to places I wasn’t expecting!!
.
Written in first person POV, the book plunges us into the mind of Irina; a photographer with a penchant for coke (not the drink), average looking-men (and possibly women?), and handing out biz cards to invite people to her studio for a shoot. The choices she made are interesting and…risky. Reading this was like a fever dream; delirious, slipping in and out of consciousness. And yet there is a lot of clarity and precision in the story line. That is the genius of the writer, Eliza Clark. And I also like the way parallels are made and the way the story unravels.
.
What kept me glued to the book is the almost voyeuristic entertainment of watching her spiral, the excitement to see where the story leads, and the self-righteous feeling of trying to diagnose Irina. Stepping into her mind as a reader is like sitting down with a friend and trying to diagnose her.
.
Very exciting book. This word makes me cringe but I have to say: unputdownable. Hands down one of the best books of the year.
