A review by sophierrr
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

challenging dark reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

4.0

every page of this book felt like a gut punch?? a slap to the face?? i dont know. i dont know if i'm particularly in love with the way this was written but the story itself is interesting and complex to make me look over that. 
marcos was saurrr interesting and his relationship with the other characters and the world around him was so complex. but i feel like the author should have dived into that a bit more (only felt she really did that with him and his sister) and really delved into his character cause I feel like she only slightly broke the surface with him and the way his mind works. 
but overall CRAZYYYY ASS BOOK!
