5/20/2023 0 Comments What Big Teeth by Rose SzaboI do wish I had read this in October, approaching Halloween. Maybe I will re-read in the future to see. I want to love this book and I suppose partially why I'm feeling blasé about it could that I am coming off a book I really didn't enjoy and it's rubbing off on this book. Also, her love interest in Arthur was creepy and super cringey. They physically and verbally abused her, actively seem to hate her for just existing, refused to believe her regarding her grandmother's death, and attempted to murder her several times. I found myself wondering why Eleanor even bothered saving her family because they were all just so horrible to her. The concept is interesting, the imagery was unique, but I think I was hoping for more of the Addams Family when I picked this up. All of the LGBTQIA rep was a bonus as well. It really made the book atmospheric in that the setting was just so tangible. I did love the writing and descriptions in this book. Our main character was sympathetic and I wanted her to succeed and be happy for once. I became almost disinterested in what happened to any of them. Over time, however, I found myself wanting to put the book down while reading it. I was intrigued over the mystery and weirdness and monstrousness of the Zarrin family.
