A review by perplexed
A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers

1.5

Am not gonna lie. I don't get how people r a v e about this book? And call it a feminist masterpiece??? Like, I can sorta get the comparisons to American Psycho but at least AP was critiquing something, this book just felt like it didn't have a purpose other than girlboss gaslight gatekeep and I don't get it??? 

Also, sure, have a psycho main character but at least TRY and make them a wee bit engaging and not just a raging rude bitch 

ALSO ???? bruh this book just screamed of someone being like "hey I want this word to be something better lemme just grab my thesaurus" and I h a t e that. Use big words sure, but when your sentences are filled with like 4 or 5 instances of that happening stop. Just stop. Put the thesaurus down and use words humans know. 

Genuinely still don't understand how this book is feminist other than like
yay main milf character kills and eats men???
and like ??? That's not feminism?? Right ??????

Also - last point I promise, how was a book about a cannibal food critic this dull??? Like that's already such a darkly comic theme ?? Please I just don't get how many 5* reviews this book gets p L e a s e
