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

4.0

Well written. Easy textual read. Relateable emotional read. The inside jacket to Roxane Gay's memoir of her body "Hunger" does not do the book justice. A unique perspective on the world as people grow into being overweight, obese, morbidly obese, and beyond.

This is not a self help book. This is not a "this is how I got thin" book. This book is about how a traumatic event from her childhood catapulted her eating herself nearly to death.

If you want the truth as to what its like living large, then this book is for you. If you're not read for the truth, then consider looking the other way.

Happy Reading!
