Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.

i know i technically didn't finish it, but this is taking way tooooo long to read and I know I'll never finish it because its just not it for me. it reads too choppy and flat. i'm hoping that's because its translated and it reads better in its original language because in that case i would consider trying this again. the premise is interesting and the potential is there, but just not feeling it at this point, no matter how much it try.
