The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls by Anissa Gray

4.0

A beautiful and haunting debut. Despite being severely dysfunctional, this family rallies around each other, with so many layers of complications between them. I kept thinking about what each member of a family owes one another, and who decides. Why do some family members feel responsible for carrying the burdens while others can walk away? The author also shows us how trauma can be passed down between generations, how resentments can fester and destroy a family from the inside. She also shows how love, however imperfect, can help heal.

I don't know how to talk about this book without giving away too much. I think you will see this one on a lot of lists this year; it's worthy of both the buzz and your time.
