Less of a femcel book, and more of a critique on femcel books. Kind of a female american psycho

had this one as an ebook library hold, realized i'd checked it out for a week and only had a week left to read it and went "ok i'll start it" and finished it in a day

incredibly compelling and deeply unsettling and upsetting book. truly could not put it down. not sure if i would recommend it to anyone and absolutely cannot give it a star rating because i think i both liked and hated it but it really got to me. 

irina reading her friend's "secret" blog where she talks about her is like........ oh girl. i get you. i truly get you. stop doing that but also i literally get you.

anyway. really great use of unreliable narrator

I think this may be my favourite book i’ve read so far this year, it was absolutely captivating and had me hooked from the beginning, all whilst having scenes and descriptions that made me want to bury the book underground and never find it again. 

What I got from this book was that Irina’s overly sexual photography and her dangerous behaviour was all an analogy for how women are so often ignored in the world that they can do the most disgusting, disturbing things humanly possible, and still no one will bat an eye at them. She can quite literally admit to murder in a fully crowded restaurant, and no one even notices. 

The writing in this book was so raw and disturbing, i felt sick to my stomach at times from how graphic some of the scenes were. Definitely check trigger warnings if you’re considering reading this, because it’s certainly not for everyone!
