Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay
4.75
challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced
I've had Roxane Gay on my radar for a while now, having always heard such great things about her writing, and I can totally see why. This was a very honest and vulnerable account of her experiences with her body, primarily focused on her having always been fat but touches on other experiences, too. The only reason this wasn't a full 5 stars for me was just because I felt like some points were repeated over and over again, almost to a fault. This is very much worth a read, but definitely go in expecting some heavy material at times.

TW: fatphobia, rape, eating disorders, racism, body-shaming
