To Disappear Quietly

Wanting to Vanish, and Learning How to Stay

De: Renée Lovange

Narrado por: Renee Lovange

Like millions of teens, Renee suffered in silence behind a happy facade.

To Disappear Quietly is a contemporary YA coming-of-age novel that carries the emotional truth of a memoir. Beautifully written with raw, unflinching honesty, it invites listeners inside the hidden side of teenage anxiety—the silent panic, eating disorders, self-harm, and the crushing weight of trying to be “fine” for everyone else.

Inspired by real emotions and authentic experiences, author Renee Lovange shares her journey for the first time: from panic attacks and the pressure to fit in, through the wrong choices made just to avoid being left behind, to the urge to disappear so no one would get hurt—until she realises she has lost her true self.

Building on the world behind Dealing with Teen Anxiety, the guide Renee co-wrote with her mother, this novel shows what it actually feels like to live inside the storm—and how the slow, messy work of staying can begin.

To Disappear Quietly gives a voice to:

• Teens who feel unseen, misunderstood, or overwhelmed

• Parents who want to understand what’s really happening inside

• Anyone who has ever wanted to vanish—and is just starting to believe they might be able to stay

With honesty, vulnerability, and a quiet thread of resilience running through every chapter, this story reminds us that feelings are not facts—and that even in our darkest moments, belonging and joy are still possible. If you’ve ever felt invisible or on the edge of disappearing, this book is your reminder that you are not alone.

A Haunting and Unforgettable Tale

This audiobook is a striking and emotionally charged story that pulls you into a world where memory, identity, and survival collide. The author weaves psychological tension with moments of quiet reflection, keeping you guessing about what’s real and what’s hidden beneath the surface.

An honest voice for those who want to disappear

To Disappear Quietly by Renée Lovange is a profoundly moving audiobook that tackles teenage anxiety with direct, unvarnished honesty. The narration feels intimate and close, as if the author were confiding in the listener's thoughts that had remained hidden for years. Through everyday scenes and difficult emotions, the book explores themes such as family pressure, eating disorders, and the desire to disappear, but always with a thread of hope present.

The writing is clear and easy to follow, though deliberately imperfect in its structure, which reinforces the sense of authenticity. Rather than offering solutions, the book provides understanding and companionship. It is a work that can help both young people who feel invisible and adults who want to understand that silent, complex inner world better.

Excellent Read

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. Very well written and such amazing detail to teen issues. If you have a teen who might be struggling w/ some anxiety, grab this book and let this mom/daughter duo help explain the journey they went thru so your teen can learn from someone else's experience. This reminds me of the after school specials I used to watch as a young teen, learning some life lessons thru movies and reading. Sometimes this is better than getting lectured from parents who might have never felt intense anxiety. Highly recommend.

An honest story that sticks with you

This book feels very real and deeply personal, like listening to someone finally say the things they kept hidden. It shows what teen anxiety can feel like without trying to sugarcoat it or rush to fix everything. I appreciated how gentle and honest the story is, even when it talks about hard topics. It does not offer easy answers, but it does offer understanding and hope. A meaningful read for teens, parents, or anyone who has ever felt invisible.

Raw, Honest, and Deeply Relatable

This book put into words feelings I’ve never been able to explain. It shows the quiet side of teen anxiety and self-harm with so much honesty, but also with a gentle thread of hope that staying is possible.
