She has some major (and majorly gross) ups and downs along the way, involving potential love interests, a bone-chilling nemesis, and the pain that always goes hand-in-hand with finding your true self. Thus Maren is left to begin a journey to find the father she never met and hopefully get some answers as to why she is the way she is. The literal growing pains of adolescence.īut mainly, yeah, it’s about Maren eating people.īecause of her, uh, affliction, let’s call it, Maren’s mom abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, having tired of needing to uproot them every few months because her daughter can’t control her primal, cannibalistic urges. It’s a visceral display of cannibalism, sure, but it’s also a (kind of camp?) way to tap right into that feeling of being a teenager when you allow your emotions to overwhelm you, to drive you so out of control that you lose yourself. As in, anytime someone shows even the slightest hint of affection towards her (specifically guys her age), she can’t stop herself from tearing the flesh from their bones and devouring them whole.
And by “eater” I mean that she literally eats people (yes, people) who possess a very specific personality trait - they have to like her.
The story follows 16-year-old “eater” Maren Yearly.
