I have to laugh because I realized I used this book as a prompt for #Bones a couple years ago. But it‘s top of mind because I watched the movie last month on Amazon Prime. Maren, the MC, is an “eater” & devours people “bones & all.” 😱 I think I liked the book better than the movie but it‘s been a while since I read it.
+6 points for Team #SpookyGhostClub 🖤👻🖤
so-so⭐⭐⭐
Did I read it just because there's a movie adaptation coming out in a few weeks?! Yes, of course.. can't wait to see Guadagnino & T.Chalamet together again!
The story itself is peculiar and interesting.. I didn't love the ending, but it was an overall okay reading.

It‘s hard to believe I read this book & posted it on Litsy 6 years ago. It came immediately to mind for “bones” - Maren, the MC, is an “eater” & devours people “bones & all.” I am excited to learn that it is now a movie coming out in November too. 📚🎬
It would work for a #TeamMonsterMash genre for #Scarathlon2022 💀🧟♀️🎃👻
Happy 2nd of the month, October edition!

Started this one yesterday. Kind of like a Zombie coming of age story.
pickLoved the dark premise of this book-Maren is 16 & an 'eater'-devouring people (bones & all) when they get too close & stir her emotions. Tired of the nomadic life this causes, her mother leaves on her 16th birthday & Maren sets off on a journey to find her father. I enjoyed the first 2/3-Maren coming-of-age in a unique & twisted setting, the creepiness, Maren's love for books, etc. but the ending fell short to me-seeming rushed & a bit unfinished.
Not book-related but made me laugh. I help friends by updating & 'fluffing' their resumes/cover letters. I don't charge them but most feel a need to give me something. One keeps giving me bakery treats though I asked her not to because I don't need all the sugar/fat. She brought me this baby pineapple upside down cake & said "I was going to get you cupcakes but this is better because it's fruit & no frosting!"(No...just LOTS of sugar/butter!!)??
pickA beautiful coming of age story, except the person coming of age is an 'eater' meaning she literally eats people, bones and all. She can't really help it, she doesn't even really understand it. Then her mother leaves her on her 16th birthday and she sets off to find the father she never knew. Solid read. @Liberty I think you might like this too.
so-so3.5 Twisted, strange, macabre and ...well...different than anything I have read. While I appreciate the freshness of the material, it still suffered from a bit of a dragging pace and an ending that could have been satisfactory had it not forced itself so hard. This was almost a four star. I still recommend it for a creepy October read.
