About this listen

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 16th 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.

Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.

Great story

Really engaging story. Narrative could have been better if there had been male narrators for the male characters IMHO. Overall very good listen.

Just WOW!

Great storytelling! Wanted to read the book, before the film. Did not disappoint. My only lingering thoughts, how were these people not creatures or superhuman, to be able to eat others, bones and all, when human teeth aren't really capable of this?

I love it!!

I have finished this book for a second time. It is fantastic! The reason I wanted this book was because of the Luca Guadagnino movie that is coming out in November. I’m super excited about that but I figured I should read (or listen) to the book before I see the movie. I was not let down. I love the weirdness of this story. It’s sort of unsettling yet I still want to know what will happen next. Sure some spots are slow but never too slow. I love the emotional depth of each character. The vibe of this book is so perfect. I just keep coming back to it to hear the whole thing again. All and all I absolutely adore this book and I totally recommend to anyone who wants a drama/ horror story!

Great story but perhaps ends a bit rushed

Interesting characters and meandering in a good way. I liked the vibes despite the relatively melancholy feel throughout. It was intriguing to find out where her journey would lead, but where it was leading to I feel could’ve been more to it.

Movie is actually better

I wanted to read this after seeing the movie and thinking there had to be more. However, despite some good ideas it really remains pretty shallow. This had the opportunity to explore some deep characterisations but generally remains very predictable and superficial. A strong start is lost by a very meandering, vanilla finish. The performance is solid. Each character felt unique and there was never a worry understanding who was talking.

It's a quick read, though, and I don't feel like it was a waste. I just wanted a bit more depth to the culture presented.
