Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay

5.0

This is probably the most painful book I've read in years. Gay's writing is clear and honest - raw, one might even say. The subject matter, both on the size of her body and the rape she experienced as a child struck my own life experiences, maybe not in every way, but enough to make this so painfully real.

I would say to anyone who has not lived as a fat person in this world, please read this book. And to anyone who has or does live as a fat person in this world, please read this book. We need this.
