A review by georgiasbookescapes
Pork Belly Tacos with a Side of Anxiety: My Journey Through Depression, Bulimia, and Addiction by Yvonne Castañeda

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.75

Yvonne is a proud woman born to a Mexican mother and a Cuban father. Yvonne growing up found a lot of anxiety from seeing her mothers nervios and has high expectations on herself from her fathers hard work ethic. Combined to cope as a teenager this eventually turned into an eating disorder for Yvonne who shares candidly her life experiences and shares openly about her experiences and methods of her eating disorder. 

This was an incredible memoir to read. I loved how raw Yvonne shared her experiences and the touches of española as someone who is slowly learning it. 

Thank you NetGalley and Santa Monica Press for this ARC!
