Vivian's Reviews > Milk Teeth

Oh such melodrama …. this is such a self-consciously, pretentious novel. Whilst the writing can be evocative of strong feelings and quite beautifully descriptive, such is it’s repetition that in this case it becomes increasingly cloying, lessening any empathy you may have for the unarmed woman.

The lead character is constantly at a loss for the language to describe her all consuming emotions. As such, the text is annoying repetitive and is literally littered with the following phrases:

I don’t know
It’s nothing
I don’t want to talk about it

In the end all we have is an annoying 28 year old behaving like a child. Disappointing.
