Where to begin?! Boy Parts isn’t a ‘typical’ read for me and felt like a whole lot of “minimal plot, all vibes” kind of book and I wasn’t totally mad at it.
The characters? Awful (for the most part)
Irina? Unreliable, spiraling, and the funniest (but dark) narrator I’ve met in a long time. It’s gross, unrelenting, and (honestly) kind of sad in many ways.
I don’t know if I actually liked this book, but it was a really…fun? interesting? different?…read for me.
Also, Eddie from Tesco deserved better
