A review by sssamscam
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

the writing was so clear and well done and impacted the story in such a good way. the quick blow of the ending left me in tears. i don’t know if the tears are empathy from the characters, horror, disgust, but oh my goodness this book is a ride.
