Hunger by Roxane Gay
4.0

This book took me a little longer to get through than most bc I kept having to put it down. Books that grapple with sexual assault are always hard for me to read. But Roxanne Gay’s writing is so raw and honest and vulnerable. I hope one day that I can create something that is filled with such blunt honesty about how I feel and move through the world. I took screenshots of many pages of this books because the words struck me, but one quote that I continue to come back to is
“There is an anxiety in being yourself, though. There is the haunting question of ‘What if?’ always lingering. What if who I am will never be enough?What if I will never be enough for someone?”
