Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark sad 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? Yes

5.0

Most (as in all but two) characters are all morally gray, leaning into morally black.

Unhappy ending, last sentence confused me, I interpreted it as " She had the hu­man look for a do­mes­ti­cated an­i­mal." instead of "She had the hu­man look of a do­mes­ti­cated an­i­mal."

Irregardless of the final line, the ending itself was chilling and dark. 👍
