Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark sad tense medium-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

3.25

This made me hate men more than I already do. The real monsters are humans, everytime. Also, I might just become a vegetarian after this read.
