Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay

challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

The way Dr. Gay talks about her trauma with so much vulnerability is something I could never do! I feel like this spoke to me as a fat trans woman. My body is already objectified by society and because I’m fat i have another reason to be shamed by society because once we get down to it, being fat is considered “unhealthy” and Dr. Gay talks about how she became fat to make herself unattractive and take her control back from the people who hurt her is so important. This was a great book!
