Wish there was a sequel scheduled to come out. More from this author but ending is open for interpretation.

I was already afraid of children and this read cemented that fear. I’d recommend not reading this if you’re pregnant or a new mom.

Wow!
Baby Teeth is a crazy, but delightfully disturbing book.
Hannah is one crazy mofo, and at age 7 I’d have locked her in the basement and thrown food down the stairs to her

*****Possible spoiler at the end*****
I have read other books about the "bad seed" child, We Need To Talk About Kevin, The Perfect Child and The Push. This is right there in that vein. Told in alternating veiwpoints between Suzette, mom, and Hanna, child. Suzanne was a wonderful unreliable narrator, which I love. She had so much going on and her own questionable upbringing is hinted at as well. This made it hard not to question her perspective. Hanna's is a bit more straightforward, but she was not likeable for me. Overall in did enjoy the read I'd say 3.4 stars, but biscuits, the end made me MAD. Possible spoiler to follow.

I felt like the story picked up pace after about 80% and then the ending was so abrupt leaving me still with questions regarding Suzette's possibly having an ulterior motive and possibly embellishing events a bit. I also definitely wanted to see what would happen when the school decided Hanna has made great progress an is ready to come home. Nope, no closure for me!! I do understand why it was written this way, I just needed to vent that. It has been quite a while since I was that frustrated with an ending!

UGH. This was a very tough book to read for various reasons that I can't mention without spoiling the book. The most I'll say is that none of the characters were likable, and the ending left a lot to be desired.

Holy hell- this book was a page turner. MUST READ
This book moved up to the top of my favorites list. I couldn’t put it down. As the story unfolded the more I got attached to the characters and struggled to stop reading. Baby Teeth is a must read- I’m hoping for a sequel.
