siobhanward 's review for:
Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body
by Roxane Gay
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
I've never read anything by Roxane Gay before, but I see her reviews on a lot of books I've been reading recently and found myself using them as a gauge as to whether I might like a book. Gay is as good at picking books as she is at writing them apparently. This was a heavy, hard read but really good. Some parts were repetitive, beyond it being a stylistic choice it felt, but I understand the impact the repetition had at times.
This is a really heavy book - it's worth checking out other reviews and trigger warnings before jumping in because there were definitely times that I had to put it down for a bit before continuing. Still a great read and I look forward to reading more.
