All the Dirty Parts by Daniel Handler
1.0
Yikes. Could not even finish it. It normalizes sex and everything but like...every single page?! And he’s cheating on girls & sleeping with one like every single page and of course he doesn’t get called out for it, just told in a side conversation that people think he’s being sleazy. If a girl did this, she’d be slutshamed to hell and back???
And that’s why this book isn’t important. It’s not necessary. Sex is already seen as natural and a thing guys seek and that’s considered normal but never for girls. If this was written in the POV of a girl, I think I would’ve kept going. Even if she was describing sucking a dick every single day, I would be right there with her going “Yes baby!!! Defy those gender expectations!!! You do what you want!” But frankly, I do not care about this dude. He genuinely acts like all girls are good for is sex. I mean, really, I don’t even mean that as a joke. He literally says that? Every time he mentions a girl, it’s in relation to the pleasure he feels. So, bye.
P.S. I wrote this at 2am thoroughly disgusted so ignore the grammar issues
