'Boy parts', by Eliza Clark. It's like the female version of American Psycho though imo better. Woman in media are rarely allowed to be grotesque and unhinged without coming off as performative. I loved this book as it explored those topics in a very intriguing way, but fair warning it's pretty gruesome.

Yeaa, I get that. Especially cause our mc isn't very likeable, and I definitely found it to be an unreliable narrator.

I've seen it referred to as 'American Psycho for hot girls' but American Psycho is American Psycho for hot girls. I really enjoyed the exploration of gender and power dynamics and thought the protagonist was interestting

Corpo-speak playful and mean character study. American Psycho for businesswomen, aspiring businesswomen, admirers of businesswomen, reluctant mothers and gleefully childfree gawkers. Very very fun.

It changed how I think about men and sex a lot and it’s so funny. there is definitely a lull about 2/3rds in and it gets pretty experimental. I recommend just sticking through the first half of the stories in that section and if you don’t like then movie on since some of the ones at the end are great.

I get it, I also faced the same situation. Excelling at academics as a kid, sets you up to fail as an adult. This might sound harsh, but ultimately no one's going to come save you. No one's going to give you life changing advice, or offer you a reset button. My advise is to just live, start small, do the little things. Make pancakes, go on a walk, feed the birds, do the things that make you feel alive, you know? Somedays, you're just going to be able to get out of bed, and that's more than enough. You have a lot ahead of you, do let one bad time ruin it all. With love- Cherie

Soaking in your face in a bowl of ice water, helps me to reset.
