Unfiltered, deranged, and wholly resonating, I've been reading Boy Parts on and off for well over a year—even though it didn't fully hook me at the start (also wasn't obviously bad or boring enough to DNF), something clicked in its second half and I was completely onboard for the drug-induced acid trip and devoured it in mere days. If you enjoyed Maeve Fly by CJ Leede, one can almost call this the distant British older cousin (this was released in 2020), sharing a similar DNA of female rage, and descends into grotesque madness.

Loved everything about this one. Hilarious at first and downright disturbing by the end. Loved the twisted main character and how our perception of her changes. Can’t wait for the next book from Clark.

The most compelling thing I've read in ages. I adored it. I've been thinking about this book a lot since I finished it, which usually doesn't happen to me. a protagonist who is sexual, predatory, and violent in a world that sexualizes, predates on, and violates her. the only consequence for any of her actions is within the first 10 pages.
