Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

2.0

Christ, this was well-written by my GOD, is it dark. Humanity is so fucked - this will 100% be my choice for “most fucked up book read in 2023.”
