Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

4.0

This book made me ill, it left me with plenty of questions and a few more desires. I’d like to think I would taste bitter and full of fear or disgust after reading this.

Final Girls by Riley Sager

The dynamic relationships in this book amazes me. All absolutely bonkers but so complex and authentic.
