Reviews with content warning for Cannibalism - Определенно голодна

So refreshing. I love women. I love rationality. And I love shit not being that deep, but that people can be. Plus the last couple chapters were such a cherry on top of reflective poignancy. The only thing I'll say is that I think at points the line between strong vocabulary and superfluousity was crossed, and the Italian lore was laid on a bit thick, but it's easy to overlook.

Made my mouth water, made me gag a bit, and made me curious about what I’d taste like?
I appreciated how the narrator is a middle aged woman, as I feel we don’t read these types of stories with that demographic as the MC. It feels a lot more fleshed out as she takes us through her life and all these events that coalesce to bring us to where we find her. She’s lived a good amount of life and I feel the story shows that well. The story is told by an unreliable narcissist, and it definitely shows! But I like it all the more for that.

A beautifully written book about the darkest and most horrific actions a human being could ever partake in.

It was witty and I did not like the beginning at all but by the end, I felt something? I liked it, it’s the kind of book that I’m not sure how to describe

Meh, I expected more. While I enjoyed that the narrator was written well, the tone made the book drag for me. At times it felt as though the author was trying to be edgy which made the whole narrative feel forced. The gore was somewhat underwhelming in my opinion. Not what I thought it would be.
