Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane GayMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This memoir is both very interesting and very moving. I could relate to a lot of what she wrote about since nearly every woman in America struggles with weight loss (even the thin ones seem to stress about it). There were also many things about life in the BMI numbers above overweight and obese that I was unaware of and therefore perhaps not sensitive to - for example, some of the accommodations that are necessary. I like Gay's collection Bad Feminist, but I think this memoir is even stronger.
