About this audiobook
Tangled Appetite follows Jennette McCurdy as she navigates adolescence under the heavy shadow of her mother’s illness, a family that revolves around fragility, and an eating disorder that becomes both refuge and prison. Poignant and candid, the novel traces Jennette’s struggle to define herself beyond others’ expectations—through birthday wishes, therapy sessions, and the stilted rituals of a household frozen by fear. With sharp, often funny observations and heartbreaking honesty, this intimate coming‑of‑age story examines identity, recovery, and the complicated ties that bind a family. Readers will find a compassionate portrait of mental health, the slow work of therapy, and the difficult choices required to grow up when your life is tethered to someone else’s survival.
