Why It's Your Next Read

  • Digital stalking meets stream-of-consciousness chaos
  • Influencer culture eviscerated w/ zero mercy
  • Obsession spirals—no redemption arc promised
  • Race & power dynamics skewered brutally

If you thrived on Irina's weaponized gaze and predatory charm, meet a narrator who stalks her ex's new girlfriend through Instagram stories like it's a blood sport. I'm a Fan trades Boy Parts' exploitative photography for digital voyeurism, delivering the same unrepentant chaos through a woman who dissects her obsession with the surgical precision of someone who knows she's unraveling—and posts through it anyway. Patel's prose mimics the scroll: fragmented, addictive, and brutally funny as it skewers influencer aesthetics and the performance of desirability.

Read it if you want protagonists who flip the script on victimhood and embrace their inner monstrosity.

This isn't about redemption or relatability. It's about watching someone weaponize their own self-destruction while eviscerating white privilege, beauty standards, and the hollow currency of online validation with zero interest in your comfort.

Read it if you want protagonists who flip the script on victimhood and embrace their inner monstrosity.

What Readers Are Saying

"I didn't get the feeling like we were supposed to root for her. I personally enjoyed the book, but I tend to enjoy a lot of books where the main characters are unlikeable/bad people." tjfmd, Reddit
"Sheena Patel has written a scorching social critique that touches on male entitlement... The change she calls for isn't about personal growth, but instead a structural upending of a toxic online and irl culture." David, Goodreads
"I'm A Fan is also an uncompromising and ruthless study of a toxic relationship... Sheena Patel's prose is sensual and intimate with a slightly nihilistic vibe and caustic humour." Jola, Goodreads
