Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

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

3.5

It's incredibly bleak, and at times kind of hard to read. Multiple characters definitely disgusted me at times. This book did a good job of showing how virtually everyone is robbed of humanity in multiple contexts in this kind of a world--especially the women of this world.
