Hunger by Roxane Gay
3.0

A brutally honest read. At many times it just felt too repetitive for me. But her raw tone was unique and refreshing even if it was depressing in so many ways. I don't think she ever mentioned therapy but her story definitely read as a cry for help with her past trauma and her current feelings toward how said trauma fueled her weight and life. Overall it was uncomfortable to read, but I also think that was her point.
