With Teeth by Kristen Arnett
3.0
One of those difficult books to review - it did not drag so I got through it quickly, some of the characters were intriguing, some frustrating but I am left nonplussed. I wanted more of a climax as regards the son - was he evil or just reacting to his hopeless parents? The book has hints of 'We need to talk about Kevin' but then it did not follow this up. There is also the 'mother gives up career and life for child, feels frustrated' trope - but again this just sat there.
I didn't 'not like' this book, but I am struggling to find anything that lifts my enthusiasm beyond 'fine'.
