Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda
5.0
dark emotional funny mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

No plot just vibes sad girl vampire who watches Buffy, has a difficult relationship with her aging mother, and just graduated art school. Featuring a really weird relationship with food that'll resonate with anyone who considered but did not succeed in drastically altering their diet. 

That's all folks. That's the book. And I loved it. 

Recommended if you're into aching passages about food and food craving, traumatic mother-daughter bonds challenged by distance and dementia, and lots of pining. Kept me up until 3am so I could finish it and I underlined several passages, so it's earned full marks. 5 stars. 

And I will reiterate: Sad girl vampire!!
