Honest vulnerable and raw

By one who reads occasionally
The author is open and vulnerable which I appreciated. She talks candidly about the discrimination and cruelty she endures due to her body size. However I found her writing style to be repetitive and simple. At times it was an effective way to express herself and at other times for me it was overstated.

The writing in this memoir is so authentic and unique. I'm forever changed having read it. #girlpower

I thought it was the sequel to Hunger Games but it's not
Absolutely what I needed.

This book has been a wonderfully written explanation of how Roxane Gay navigated (navigates) life. She writes things that many think, or that many feel like they may be alone in thinking. It's so uplifting and wonderful to not feel alone, and to know that it's okay. Hunger is the first of its kind as it dishes brutal realities and breakdowns, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I'll be re reading it for years to come.
