I've read almost all of them and I loved them all for different reasons. I haven't read The Days of Abandonment, Eileen, I Who Have Never Known Men and Boy Parts yet, but I know that I'll end up loving them too. I've added these to my tbr list which I'll definitely have to read next. 💚
Funny you mentioned the misplaced correlations between American Psycho & Boy Parts. I also saw Boy Parts being advertised by BookTok as a 'female American Psycho' novel, which led to a rather disappointed reading experience for me, having read American Psycho. I do think I still enjoyed it, but it's truly a testament to how skewed expectations can lead to a lackluster reading experience, if you're constantly waiting for it to turn into the thing it was likened to.
same i wish people didn't compare books to others! i feel like 99% of books are different to others and shouldn't be compared because it sets you up for disappointment when a book doesn't live up to another. it's the same way i felt when people compared 'if we were villains' to 'the secret history' - like they don't even come close in comparison!! just an annoying marketing technique
@@katerinareem Yes! If we were villains & The Secret History was another example I was thinking of, iwwv was definitely fun imo, but leagues different from tsh in terms of tone/prose

You're k*lling me with your kindness of showing me these book recs - but I guess SYMPATHY IS A KNIFE 😅

This comment 😂 ❤
Didnt read my year of rest and relaxation but it also seems based on premise that it is a critique of capitalism?
i would definitely say so! it def talks about the superficiality of consumerism and how having wealth and success doesn't necessarily make one happy
