Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
dark
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? It's complicated
3.0
Fuck Marcos all my homies hate Marcos

Obviously the themes are supposed to be grotesque but oof,the misogyny and *hints* at marginalized people suffering without really touching on or sympathizing with such themes was kinda gross.
