Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
5.0
Wow, this book was all kinds of disturbing. Am I the only one who thinks this is exactly how it would play out in real life? 🥩 My initial thought was go vegan - I mean, I haven’t eaten meat in over 20 years - but I get it, there are many reasons that may not work and this is, after all, a work of fiction.
As disturbing as this book was, it was extremely addicting. I thought the story was going to go one way and was completely blindsided. I’m sure if I read it again I’d pick up on some clues I didn’t catch the first time round. I likely will not read this book again 🫣 but I’m happy we crossed paths and I got to experience it. I found the writing to be engaging, creative, unique - it was very interesting.
If you’re not easily grossed out (that detailed slaughterhouse tour was pretty intense) and you enjoy dystopian settings, you’ll love this one!
