For summer, I love to dwell in the grotesque. I love books that are so horrible and disgusting that I simply just cannot look away.
One of my top recommendations for this genre is “a certain hunger” by Chelsea Summers.
This book follows a young woman, who is a food critic that absolutely loves her job. She has a taste for the finer dinning, is extremely analytical and smart. But aside from food Dorothy has a taste for something else; love, specifically a string of lovers.
I find this book repulsive, and interesting because it intertwines themes of love and cannibalism and it explains how all consuming love can be sometimes.
