What would happen if you combined a Hallmark movie with a werewolf movie? Threw in a little body horror and gore with the big city gal returning to her hometown? Such Sharp Teeth would happen, and I loved it.
Sharply funny, witty, and incredibly dark, Such Sharp Teeth tackles everything from bodily autonomy, societal expectation of women, and sibling relationships, all while being a werewolf book. Perfection.

is a supernatural drama, it still is an engaging read about the how internalized rage and trauma can manifest decades later, and at the most inopportune time.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of a female rage book ending in a path towards peace but I’m just so fucking tired of the trope. She spent the most miserable few months in this town & suddenly she’s willing to drop her job, home, and everything else for a cute guy? It just felt incredibly unrealistic and gave a very cloying sense that all of her success and achievement was some sort of compensation for her trauma, and that ~healing~ means a man and settling down near family and ~forgiveness no matter what~… Can’t girls be high-powered & angry AND heal? Idk in 2023 I’d hoped to read something a little outside of the box considering how much good material this started with. much of this book felt like approaching a hard topic just to veer off into safe fade to black territory
I also really disliked how the author makes a point of having Scarlett be incredibly ambivalent about having a baby, but was too cowardly to explore the idea that she didn’t actually want it in the first place… she just waffles about it until she’s magically is incandescently happy about a baby she’s been angsting about for 9 months… like if you’re going to get real about motherhood not being some happy great ride 24/7 we should’ve gotten a look into Scarlett considering if she even wanted to have it, deciding that she did, etc.
I think this author started out with some really interesting points on how women are allowed to feel and express themselves, but ended up writing herself into the same “stay home & marry your high school sweetheart to be happy” corner that so much romance ends up in. The family dynamics were even more disappointing; “cave to your family’s wants to keep the peace” is not exactly what I signed up for. Disappointing but hopefully reading this will get the book rec algorithm to give me something like it except with an author willing to shake things up
