Baby Teeth

Claire, an expectant mother has hardly no support and joins an online community where she finds that they are a little non conformative.

She is feeling very vulnerable and welcomes new friends.

I loved this book, you can tell the author did a lot of research and Claire although not a likeable character did have her moments where I felt completely where she was coming from.

There were twists, emotion, and drama , it is dark and intense and such a fabulous read..

4+ stars


This was very much a one sit read for me.
I flew through it.
I do like a bit of toxicity in a book, and this had plenty of it.
I didnt much like Clare for 80% of this book... but you don't have to like someone to feel for them.
There were a few times when my jaw almost dropped at what was happening. A sentence or two with devastating effects.
It was good to get other looks at different pregnancies too. Different points of view.
This book is going to be a smash, and hopefully a good deterrent to anyone getting advice from online forums!

I really enjoyed this fresh and original debut novel about pregnancy, motherhood and the lure of toxic online communities. The characterisation was great and the mounting sense of dread when reading worked really well and made it a compelling read.
Looking forward to more work from this author.
