(tried hunger like a decade ago, couldn't get more than maybe 100 pages in? i don't remember much about that reading except that the book didn't intrigue me the way vol 1. did, even through its slow/rough parts. i don't feel compelled to give it another chance the way im intending to do with the wrinkle in time books)

The explicit depictions of bulimia are unnecessary and not really plot relevant. As too is the ableism and racism. Little Pete didn’t have to be autistic there is no plot reason for it at all and it is written very poorly and very stereotypically and is a very ableist and infantilising portrayal. It seems as though some characters were written as ableist and racist so the author could get away with saying slurs/racist comments. And Astrids response to Pete being called the r-slur is disgusting and ableist as hell against high support needs autistics.
I finished the book but only because I hate DNFing. The storyline was clunky and had many plot holes and the writing was poor.
