FROM GRANTA BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELIST AND WINNER OF THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE
Ray wants the perfect body.
But how far is too far?
When his training turns extreme, Ray is pulled into a dark gym culture that promises results at any cost. As his body changes, so does his mind. Watching from the side lines is his girlfriend Temi, a journalist who expresses concern but has her own secret agenda.
Hunger Pains is a gripping story about obsession, control, and what happens when self-improvement becomes self-destruction.
