Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

It was so revolting but I also couldn’t bear to put it down. So incredibly insightful while also being one of the most disgusting books I’ve ever touched.
