"You who call women the fairer sex, you may repress and deny all you want, but some of us were born with a howling void where our souls should sway"

oh. my.

I absolutely ADORED this book, and I also think it's just about time we saw some "women killing men" media floating around, and this was the perfect take on it.

A food critic who eats men? I don't know about the rest of you, but this is exactly what I meant when I said I support women's wrongs.

If you're looking for a book with weird gorey details, cannibalism, and a psychopathic woman as an mc, I absolutely recommend looking into this!

of course, please check trigger warnings before diving in

sometimes the most profound musings on love are found in the book about a cannibalistic milf serial killer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I learned that being female is as prefab, thoughtless, soulless, and abjectly capitalist as a Big Mac. It’s not important that it’s real. It’s only important that it’s tasty."

Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

A Certain Hunger || Chelsea G. Summers ★★★★☆ Started: 21.12.2024 Finished: 28.12.2024 Food critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, and very, very smart, Dorothy’s clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about. Dorothy loves sex as much as she loves food, and while she has struggled to find a long-term partner that can keep up with her, she makes the best of her single life, frequently traveling from Manhattan to Italy for a taste of both. But there is something within Dorothy that’s different from everyone else, and having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority. A satire of early foodieism, a critique of how gender is defined, and a showcase of virtuoso storytelling, Chelsea G. Summers’s A Certain Hunger introduces us to the food world’s most charming psychopath and an exciting new voice in fiction.
