A review by jvan
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark emotional sad medium-paced

4.5

Such a beautiful and sad book. A deep meditation on grief and loss that takes place in a horrible dystopia. There's a lot of fucked up shit that happens in the book, but it all fits into the premise and none of it, given that premise, feels unrealistic or incorrect.
The last section is fast and a little sloppy, and the lasr line feels out of place and I can't really fit it in with the book, so I stumbled s moment there and went 4.5 instead of 4.75
