"A HEALTHY APPETITE is drawn, in part, from my first-hand experience of chronic illness and disability. "When you're diagnosed with a life-altering condition at twenty-one, it gifts you a pretty unique vantage point as a millennial still alive today. I asked myself: what would you do if you found yourself suddenly cured, and what might the consequences of long term survival be for someone who has lost their appetite for their future? "I love novels that examine selfhood in a really precise way, alongside stories about food as an extended metaphor for the protagonist's quest for autonomy. I'd been hungry for something like my experience examined in fiction for a long time and never quite found it, so went ahead and wrote it myself. I hope that it makes other people feel seen." -- Katie Huttlestone, on writing A HEALTHY APPETITE You can pre-order A HEALTHY APPETITE 💊 at the link in bio! #ahealthyappetite #weirdgirl
