This was yet another recommendation off of TikTok and oh my GOODNESS, this is hardcore šŸ˜‚

I wasnā€™t expecting all of this darkness and unlikeability! The main character needed therapy more than anything in life, but I found it so fascinating how easily manipulated everyone else was around her too šŸ˜³
We all knew it was coming I suppose, but I still couldnā€™t help feel very upset by her killing the boy!


Iā€™d say at some parts, I couldnā€™t stop, and at some parts I put the book down and felt a bit meh šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø The ways of an untrustworthy narrator I suppose.

This one gets 3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you āœØ

fav quote: ā€œshe liked Harry Styles a few years ago, and now she likes that white-bread, absolutely fucking baguette of a lad from Call Me by Your Nameā€. This book is p much just unhinged feral woman does unhinged feral things to men that get progessively more unhinged and feral. not sure i got the deeper commentary of it all but it was *interesting* to read ! the tw list gives an indication of the unhingedness at play lmao

Where to begin?! Boy Parts isnā€™t a ā€˜typicalā€™ read for me and felt like a whole lot of ā€œminimal plot, all vibesā€ kind of book and I wasnā€™t totally mad at it. 

The characters? Awful (for the most part)
Irina? Unreliable, spiraling, and the funniest (but dark) narrator Iā€™ve met in a long time. Itā€™s gross, unrelenting, and (honestly) kind of sad in many ways.

I donā€™t know if I actually liked this book, but it was a reallyā€¦fun? interesting? different?ā€¦read for me. 

Also, Eddie from Tesco deserved better
