What Hunger by Catherine Dang
3.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cool premise, not great execution. First warning, this was very descriptive and did make my stomach turn. I like the representation of grief and family dynamics. I loved Ronny‘s relationship with Tommy, but ultimately the story fell flat. I’m not sure if it’s because Ronnie is 14 but the writing felt very simple. The horror and gore also feel out of place, like it wasn’t fully integrated into the story. If Ronny’s anger had been shown differently, I don’t think much of the story would’ve changed.
