Now a major motion picture from Luca Guadagnino starring Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet and Mark Rylance, screenplay by David Kajganich!Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity, for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way.Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same--with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car.But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way.Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself.

"a quick read that kept me engaged the whole time. it wasn’t gruesome at all, despite being of cannibalism. a journey of a young girl who thinks she is unloveable. "

"TW: Cannibalism (obviously)<br/><br/>I read this because of the movie that is coming out this week and I'm 99% sure that the movie will be better than the book. Sure, this was compelling enough that I couldn't put it down, unfortunately I wish I <i>had</i> put it down before the last fourteen pages. <br/><br/>I expected a horror story. The climax was the only really horrific part, and for a brief moment I had faith that it would be enough to carry the story. Sadly, the ending was terrible and made no sense. Actually, none of this made any sense. For example; Lee eats people in a little over seven minutes, yes bones and all. Hence the title. How? It never said anything straightforward in the book, there was merely a vague clue on the last page. <br/><br/>The acknowledgements said more about it than the actual book, which I found unprofessional in a sense. It gave me the impression that this book was primarily written to convey what the author would like to tell people who aren't vegan, and making it thrilling and believable took a seat on the back burner."
