A review by annas_sweets_and_stories
I'm Not Hungry But I Could Eat by Christopher Gonzalez

I seem to be in the minority with this one and the fact that I did not like it. I don't know if I'm just not smart enough for these type of anthologies but this was not an enjoyable read for me. I am also put off by the amount of fat phobia in the book even though this was supposed to be some sort of fat positive queer book. There were a couple stories that were deeply triggering regarding fat phobia both internalized and external and I just can't get over the fact that those were included and are being praised.

If you like literary fiction anthologies, you may enjoy this one more than I did. Almost all the rest of the reviews are very positive so I do think that this is a me issue which is why I'm leaving it unrated. While I do think that the fat phobia is a major issue, there were a couple stories that I didn't hate but I honestly was just left feeling confused at the purpose of each story.
