Baby Teeth: A Novel

Product Information

Suzette loves her husband more than anything in this world. They have a daughter, Hanna, who she desperately wants to love too. But she just can’t get there. No connection or bond whatsoever. No, this isn’t just your typical riff between a parent and a teenager. Hanna is only seven. So who’s to blame for this total disconnect? Sweet little Hanna, or emotionally exhausted Suzette?

In my mind I was imagining different endings and just couldn't come up with the right solution. Never saw it coming. When my book bestie and fellow weirdo found the synopsis for this book, we knew we had found one that our little shriveled hearts would adore. So I'm deeply thankful for her begging on my part to get my grubby hands on a copy of this one. I hate to finish like a negative Nancy. So, I add this: the cover is striking and I love the title! Too bad about the book.😕 Mitchell was happy to see me take a leap off the porn wagon and had much excite about our potentially stabby windfall as well . . . .

Also have to point out how stunning the use of art in this was - I can't stop thinking about Immy's relationship with art as a way of seeking connection with the world around her and making peace with her own immortality.

One final note: You may be wondering why I haven’t talked about “Daddy” more. Here’s what I have to say to him . . . . She stuffed a grape in her mouth, a strawberry, a cheese cube, another cheese cube, another grape. And made a show at chewing, chewing.” I read this book in February and it has stayed with me over the last six months and as much as I read that absolutely says something!

Although I love the verses, I wish there could have been more world building or learn more about the supporting characters (Claudia, Freddie and Henry) - there were moments where things felt a bit two dimensional. Once Suzette starts mentioning to Alex about their daughter’s behavior he doesn’t believe it. How can his sweet little girl do any of the creepy things that are being described. Even when the schools tell the parents about Hanna’s schemes, Alex isn’t willing to consider it. I thought everything would get better. Kindergarten. But she didn’t talk. That’s how it all started. We tried doctors, there’s nothing physically wrong. But every place I’ve tried to enroll her, and every babysitter, it’s like she wants to torture— just me”.What would you do if your child hated you? Really and truly hated you? Hated you so much , in fact, that she wanted to eliminate you? This was a teaser and I saw why so many people read it. This is definitely a thriller and I did see why the child disliked her mother, but why did she hate her? As I said earlier, this book won’t be for everyone. I do wonder if it would fit more into the horror genre. I found it diabolical and creepy and I’m really glad I read it. “Baby Teeth” is definitely a book I won’t soon forget. I’m very curious to see what Zoje Stage is going to come up with next.
