I don’t even know what to say. This is a perfect depiction of an entitled white man in the body of a woman. 

Irina is probably the worst person ever, the way she sees men as disposable objects of desire, and how far she goes with it is the best way to describe the patriarchal society we live in. 

“I got handsy. It’s hard to just look, isn’t it? It’s hard to look and not touch, not squeeze, or prod, or squash all that soft private skin they show me.”

This is a genius exploration of female desire, gender, class and power dynamics, also a smart remark on the way society works. To make it even more obvious, Irina is literally trying to be this monster of a human, and even when she’s straight forward with it; MEN DON’T taker her seriously. 

Eliza Clark is definitely a writer to keep the eye on.

Genuinely so entertaining to read but also gave me so much to think about. Irina is the worst but I loved reading her. It just kept getting crazier and crazier. Sad to leave her world but also relieved.

Clark has written a dark and twisted character, one in which you get lost in her psyche. She lives in a rampant self destructive world and has never lived any differently. An unreliable narrator only told different through photographs, is the story shes telling us true?
An excellently written dark mystery, funny in places too. Will need to read again with a different perspective.
