Baby Teeth: The First Ten Chapters by Zoje Stage | Goodreads

This book takes you down a dark hole into a disfunctional family that might make you appreciate Aunt Bernice farting at the dinner table. Seven-year-old Hanna would be so much happier if Mommy would just disappear so that she and her Daddy could live happily ever after. Mitchell was happy to see me take a leap off the porn wagon and had much excite about our potentially stabby windfall as well . This book is just as understandable and uses modern language, but has a really unique story and style. I didn't feel like I'd stumbled across anything that I would take with me for more than 4 minutes after I turned the final page of that book.

Her follow-up novel, Wonderland, was described in a starred review from Booklist as "a beautifully choreographed and astonishing second novel.

It started to annoy me while reading since if any parent has a child who says and does a fraction of what Hannah does in this novel, common sense says you discipline, course-correct, and nip it in the bud. Her debut novel, Baby Teeth, has been optioned for film by Village Roadshow and Valparaiso Pictures.This one has been on my TBR list for a very long time and I can't believe it's taken me this long to read it.

it’s compared to We Need to Talk About Kevin, which i haven’t read, and The Dinner, which i have read and did not like, but i’m not sure these books are all playing to the same crowd. The ending could suggest a sequel, especially because it seems like the book ended when there was so much more to learn.It doesn't matter if you're into Stephen King, Octavia Butler, Jack Ketchum or Shirley Jackson, this is the place to share that love and discuss to your heart's content. Many other readers and reviewers really enjoyed this book, so I hope if you do pick it up, it works for you too! She didn't have the greatest relationship with her own Mum and feels this is her chance to do better by her daughter. Suzette is trying to be the wonderful parent that she never had, while battling an autoimmune disease. Her health problems have made her doubt herself but now she has that perfect marriage with a dream child.

Alex refers to Hanna as his ‘squirrely girl’ or ‘lilla gumman’ and it seems like no matter how much he loves Suzette, he just doesn’t believe that his daughter is a psychopath and consistently makes excuses for her. It’s told from the point of view of an exasperated stay-at-home mom, Suzette, and her seven-year=old daughter, Hannah. Though the seven year old voice was off, I could take it because it wasn’t bad writing, just not perfect.Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. Both are uncomfortable with Moses due to the age difference between him and Milla, but are permissive due to Milla's illness. Hanna panics when adults put on unexpected masks or act weird because it makes her feel a loss of control. Reading uncomfortable material has helped me avoid danger by exposing me to a wide range of situations and people I couldn't have possibly experienced myself. Now, a little tantrum every now and then is normal (believe me, my 5 year old still speaks whinese 🙄) BUT in Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage you get way more than a little tantrum!
