Boy Parts by Eliza Clark
3.0
I could compare this to a lot of things but i'll rather let it stand by it's own.
I kinda was waiting for something different maybe worse maybe not but this was very insane nevertheless. the constant use of culture and the language makes me feel this book won't stay for too long (as in years) because of how rooted it is in a niche culture, which i always consider a dangeroud shot because it's time is counted; out of this, i would say that the way some topics are covered and some characters are presented, both in a dull way and going for the wow factor are directly linked to our main character and her quality as an unreliable narrator which makes her edgy-ness more intriguing to the reader.
the last pages with the discussion of her mark in the world as something else beside a beautiful woman was one of the best developed topics (althought kind of late), out of it many of the themes found here could have been taken in more interesting directions or expanded in better and deeper ways.
anyway, how are they still alive after consuming all that!?
