A review by leazzz
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I would like to never think about this book again. 
I think every other review I've seen of this SERIOUSLY downplays the TWs. 
Regardless of the writing/characters/plot, this is seriously disturbing and for a lot of people it will NOT be worth reading.
