A review by teenyshamble
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

Did not finish book. Stopped at 73%.

Plot feels self indulgent, shock factor over actual plot, ending is wildly predictable. It's not good writing, it's just inexplicably gory for the shock factor more than anything. An interesting thought experiment executed poorly.
