*This is the first selection of the Hype Lit Book Club
So vulnerable, and honest, and hard. To be honest - this first book club meeting could either be the absolute best or the absolute worst. Gay writes tenderly and honestly about a subject most women, probably could - or would - never: her body. Here's my full review: https://www.hypelit.com/single-post/2...

I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was impossible to love Ms. Gay's work more then I did after reading Bad Feminist but Hunger really spoke to me as a black woman who has struggled with my weight since childhood. Not to mention the agonizing way she describes her gang rape, I wanted to hunt those monsters down myself and beat their ass.
