Well that was a book wasn’t it? Hard hitting and horrifying, Eliza Clark explores female sexuality, mental health (or personality disorders- you decide) and living in the North vs living in London. This is too good to be a debut.
I’ve read a few reviews comparing Boy Parts to American Psycho. I’ve only seen the film but in my opinion a strong case for this. Irina is a modern, female, Bateman. She is sharp, witty, smart which makes her inner dialogue both amusing and even darker when she goes down that alley of her mind. Her relationships are a train wreck. She is hard to like but even harder to hate.
I don’t want to give away the plot but this book is DARK. It 100% should be classed as a Horror (which makes it a very appropriate read for October). This book is fabulous. It’s a must read.
