About this deal

Of course any story of this nature is going to be an uncomfortable read and I was very aware of that hurdle from the onset. That said, no doubt I would have found this more unsettling than I did, had I bought into any of it. I did not.

Because of Hanna's need for control, she finds comfort in solitude and math. Hanna knows she's different and not in a good way: "She knew what adults liked and didn’t like: rabbit-like girls who kept still and never raised their voice were good; dragon-like girls who roared and stomped and flew and generated their own fire were bad." Mommy notices Hanna's failings the most, so she faces the full brunt of Hanna's wrath. The pressure to be something she's not is too much for Hanna. A fear of failure stunts her growth (refusal to talk, refusal to draw). She's terrified of going to school and freaks out at the mention of it. She's drawn to ugly stuffed creatures, relieved to have a friend that is "ugly, broken." Dalton, Ben (4 October 2019).

Honestly, I left this novel feeling neither at-ease with the stability of the conclusion nor confident in the continued happiness of this family. 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? a b Lodge, Guy (4 September 2019). "Film Review: 'Babyteeth' ". Variety . Retrieved 4 September 2019.I’ve never read a story in the form of verse before and at first it felt a little hard to keep up with but I pushed through and I’m glad I did because the plot was well worth the extra time it took to read it. Typically I’m a speed reader, going through books in one go without stopping but the story being written in verse forced me to slow down and truly take in what I was reading which made it that much more special. this is the story of a seven-year-old girl named hanna who loves her daddy SO MUCH that she doesn’t want anyone else taking up any of his time or attention. so, obviously, her mom’s gotta go. like, go in a “not be breathing anymore” way. Baby Teeth" by Zoje Stage was a novel I’ve been meaning to read on my TBR for a while since it had an awesome cover, a wild description, and seemed like my kind of read. Right off the bat, it was an interesting story and done in a unique way. To read alternating chapters between daughter and mother was very original and once the creepy moments started happening, my goodness, I was excited to see what awaited. Ultimately *Spoiler Alert* we never get an answer — to the question of Suzette’s culpability, at least.

It is weird, but I like Hanna as a character. She is mad but the author did a fantastic job with her personalities. I wasn't afraid while I was reading, but Hanna's POV gave me a creepy vibe. When she stood in front of her mother with a hammer and her mother Suzette just creeps out, I thought that 'OK Suzette, you are more insane than your daughter. Just call the police PLS.' I received this book for free from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. It will be available on July 17, 2018!

As the house starts to become increasingly volatile and claustrophobic, Suzette begins to wonder if she will ever feel safe in her own house, alone with her “baby daughter.” Mitchell was happy to see me take a leap off the porn wagon and had much excite about our potentially stabby windfall as well . . . . First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Zoje Stage, and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.

Maybe it had been a mistake, trying to set Mommy on fire. If only she’d known how long it took for things - or people - to fully ignite.
