This is a character study focusing on our protagonist, Irina, and it is also very disturbing read at times, all things that I’m a big fan of. I actually read this as an audiobook, which is also narrated by the author, on a whim and truly enjoyed it. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina’s relationship with her obsessive best friend, and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention…īoy Parts had been on my radar for a few months, and despite not knowing all that much about it-I usually tend to prefer going into books blind-I knew that this was going to be a dark read following a erotic photographer, a mixture that sounded very appealing and interesting. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol, and extreme cinema. Summary: Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Representation: Bisexual main and secondary characters, transgender secondary character, lesbian secondary characterĬontent warning: Eating disorder, gore, manipulation Genre: Literary fiction, horror, LGBT+, adult
