Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Is this maybe a book that was 5 stars in terms of writing, probably. But because this is a journal of sorts for me it gets 3 stars and I hated the way every moment of this book made me feel. It's good I guess but it's mostly disgusting and incredibly depressing. That doesn't make it a bad book just a bad book for me personally. So if you're into dystopian, government run cannibalism you might like this?
