A review by bookbabe0614
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

challenging dark tense fast-paced

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

4.5

holy shit. don’t read this fucking book. it’s amazing and thought provoking, and it does what Agustina intended it to do. It’s horrifying, sickening, disturbing, disgusting, visceral grotesque. so we’ll written that i never want to read it again.
