Boy Parts by Eliza Clark

gothicteletubby's review against another edition

Hated the main character, she was fatphobic, treated her "friend" so cruelly for no reason, and took erotic photos of a 16 yo and just didn't give two shits. I don't care about her or her stupid photos.

Also, this book is so goddamn british, normally I could just ignore it and move on, but the writing reminds you every two pages.

Holy shitttt, I fucking love this book. I found this book so fucking interesting and I could barely put it down. I highly recommend this but I would look up the content warning first.

Ok, it has been a few days since I read it. It is maybe not as good as I originally thought. I still liked it but there are a lot of weird things in this book.

its american psycho for tiktok teens.
pretty surprised at how highly this is rated! as far as “transgressive” fiction goes its very timid. it feels like a first draft almost, as its missing a lot of the pieces that make these types of stories effective. i feel like the author straight up didnt do enough research into the ideas shes pursuing.

loved loved loved. i get that this is a Shocking Statement for the girlies who have no idea how to describe this beyond 'um... female american psycho?' but i loved the main character and identified with her in a lot of ways - we share a very similar background (live in the same place in the UK, even!) and it was almost like looking into a very fucked up alternate dimension in a way. i felt sorry for her and i wanted to succeed and i know that realistically, she can't, and she's doomed to be her mother and to get worse and to rot, but that urge to be SEEN and KNOWN spoke to me so distinctly there was no way i just couldn't love her even despite her terrible cruelty and the things she'd done.

the book WAS wobbly at parts, will probably age poorly for things that are admittedly funny now but will be nigh incoherent to anyone reading this in 20 years time, and the ending is a bit of a dealbreaker for some (not me, and not after the disappointment of our wives under the sea - that WAS a stinker) but ultimately, it crafted a world that i could understand and relate to in so many ways. really special book for me.
