She's Ravenous
Books that explore women's hunger (as a theme/with appetite as a key aspect of the book), whether it's ambition, power, sexual/emotional hunger, longing for a voice/community, or literal physical hunger. #girldinner

This is a really cool list
Thanks! Lmk if there are others you'd add.
I think The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim would fit really snugly here
Added! Thanks for the recommendation.
Do you have a favourite on the list??
A lot are still on my TBR but I'm currently loving The Dead Husband Cookbook.
Suggesting Hungerstone!
I haven’t read this one yet, but I think Nightbitch would also fit this category!
I'll add it! Haven't read this one but I've heard good things.
I recommend The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling! Lots of talk about hunger and power
Added to the list and my TBR!
would strongly recommend Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth and The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood. If you do graphic novels as well, Tender by Beth Hetland!
I don't typically read graphic novels but I'll still add those! Thanks for the recs!
