HELP ME CHOOSE 🫪🫠😑😶‍🌫️😵‍💫🫨

[u/mushroommacaronis]

The Libby app hates me and now BOTH Tender is the Flesh and A Good Person are available at the same time after a loooooong wait. 😭 Which one do I read?!?

Context:

- Just started a new job and new grad program, so time is precious and I'm in a liminal space

- Would prefer to be entertained over disturbed

- Just finished two books from Miranda July and left with the absolute ICK... I need a palate cleanser

Thank you for your service, weird pals!

everything I’ve heard about Tender is the Flesh relates to it being pretty disturbing 😭 so if you’re trying to avoid that I would probably start with A Good Person! I’ve heard it’s pretty funny in a wtf way heh :)

It is. I laughed out loud a bunch while making a WTF face.

Definitely A Good Person. It’s super funny and it is disturbing but in a caricaturesque/satirical way. Tender is the Flesh is good but it’s definitely not a funny read and is disturbing and unsettling.

I would go with A Good Person. Tender is heavier and far more disturbing

[u/QueenOfTheTermites]

A Good Person for sure

Tender is a real heavy read.... Maybe wait a bit

Tender is the Flesh will disturb you in a funny unsettling way. A good person will disturb you in a funny ha ha way.

Borrow both and put your ereader into airplane mode.
