Hunger by Roxane Gay
4.0

Oh I wish I could go back in time and give young Roxane a hug.

Many of her thoughts as a young adult are so relatable, despite me not living through anything nearly as traumatic as her pre-teen self.

This book also gave me some genuine insight into how hard life is for those with larger bodies. I could see it, but I never really gave it a huge amount of thought. And that's a huge bit of personal privilege.

Roxane, I hope you genuinely come to love yourself. And realise that you deserve all the awesome things.
