Literally nothing happens and the characters are severely underdeveloped. There were so many plot holes and it just like, wasn't a fun thing to read. ( ) I mean, the prose is fine and sometimes good? There is a strong sense of setting. I appreciate a novel about lesbians parenting their kid and how they feel pressured to do it perfectly. But the plot was negligible and the characters are awful, and setting and topic aren't enough for me. I'm not even sure what the theme was. Sammie makes such awful choices all the way through, and I can't figure out what this all adds up to. It sure seems like the writer is not a parent, or at least not a parent of a 16 -year-old, but maybe the novel is not intended to be realistic? None of the characters are compelling, ultimately, in part because all the awful things they do don't seem to affect them. And there's alcoholism and therapy and neither of them produce change. It's a description of wounds, and then a description of scars, and then more wounds. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"From the author of the New York Times-bestselling sensation Mostly Dead Things: a surprising and moving story of two mothers, one difficult son, and the limitations of marriage, parenthood, and love If she's being honest, Sammie Lucas is scared of her son. Working from home in the close quarters of their Florida house, she lives with one wary eye peeled on Samson, a sullen, unknowable boy who resists her every attempt to bond with him. Uncertain in her own feelings about motherhood, she tries her best--driving, cleaning, cooking, prodding him to finish projects for school--while growing increasingly resentful of Monika, her confident but absent wife. As Samson grows from feral toddler to surly teenager, Sammie's life begins to deteriorate into a mess of unruly behavior, and her struggle to create a picture-perfect queer family unravels. When her son's hostility finally spills over into physical aggression, Sammie must confront her role in the mess--and the possibility that it will never be clean again. Blending the warmth and wit of Arnett's breakout hit, Mostly Dead Things, with a candid take on queer family dynamics, With Teeth is a thought-provoking portrait of the delicate fabric of family--and the many ways it can be torn apart"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
