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

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.

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

1.0

Where to even start with this. The writing style fluctuated so much during this book, it seemed more like the author’s stream of consciousness than anything else. I think my biggest problem with this book was that there was no plot at all, no cohesive writing style and voice from the author, and nothing connected. It seems that the idea was there but it could not be executed by the author. 

I really didn’t enjoy how much the main character focused on food, her eating disorder, and not eating when this was in no way related to the plot. It might have shaped the character but this was all she talked about, there wasn’t much else to Irina. 

The contact sexual assault and rape in this book were trying to be nuanced but just fell so flat for me. It seemed like the author was just writing off these things as “it happens” and nothing comes of it when a victim speaks out. 

Overall, there’s more to say but I would not recommend this book!
