Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

1.0

Wow, this was not well written at all. The plot jumped around, there were tons of things that were completely improbable. The dialogue was fanfiction level writing. Just not good. Why is this book so highly recommended?
