5.0

I loved this book. Be warned though because it really is a disturbing/difficult read. Irina is abusive and cruel, but her world is intoxicating and I really enjoyed reading her story.

4.0

Boy Parts, in the most simply put way, is about an already unhinged woman taking a nosedive into actual insanity. Eileen is horrible but you also love to hate her. I really enjoyed the writing style of this book and the cheeky dialogue, some moments had me cringing in disgust but then I’d be giggling at some exchange on the next page.

3.0

Really like Eliza Clark’s writing style but I did find it difficult to get into it because the main character is just awful and entirely unrelatable.  Eventually it makes sense why she’s written like this. I found the first 2/3 of the book to be a little slow paced, until the twist.

4.0

to the halfway point it was a 3 stars

around 75% it became a 4.

and at the end it’s such an easy 5 star book.

i don’t even want to comment on it, it’s disturbing and impactful. 

holy fuck.

edit: back down to 4 stars sorry babes
