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.

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

I really liked reading this book. The way the narrative is fragmented between the current day and Irina’s past is well executed, I particularly appreciated the photos telling the stories of her past as she’s a photographer. The main body of this book is excellent, the main character of this book who’s perspective we get is pure evil. It’s so interesting to hear how she deals with her wrongdoings, whether she feels bad or simply admits that it doesn’t bother her in the slightest. My only issue that bought the rating of the book down a lot was the the ending. It really just stopped in the middle of nowhere. The whole book we lead up to this big gallery she’s in and that could’ve been a lovely natural stopping point. Instead there’s an extra man she goes on a date with and then it suddenly stops, leaving you with unanswered questions. I wouldn’t say the sudden ending is poetic and it’s not one of those intentional things to leave the reader guessing. It just feels wrong and very underwhelming. I would recommend this book in that the narrative voice is intoxicating and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Before reading please read the trigger warnings it was a lot to handle <3.

I really dont know how to feel the only bit i think i liked of this was the very end

‘My mam always used to tell me that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. And Eddie from Tesco is a fly, but he's got a taste for vinegar. It's like vinegar is all he's ever had from people, and now he doesn't even know what honey tastes like.’

‘I wonder what the fuck I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat… Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a fucking mark?’
