Valerie is quiet, studious, and thin. Unbeknownst to everyone, she's suffered from bulimia for years. When a tragedy strikes, Val must determine her priorities to move on. This beautiful story hits a cord with me in its examination of "guai" (乖), a philosophy that children should obey their parents to the point of surrendering their bodies for scrutiny. HUNGRY is a beautiful & essential tale of learning to love & accept ourselves, setting boundaries, and finding happiness within.
