This is, and I do not say this lightly, the single most terrifying book I've ever read — if only because I caught myself mid-laugh gasping in horror.

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.
