Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
2.0

Absolutely loved The Salt Grows Heavy but this one just didn't work for me.  Couldn't keep up with all of the similes - it was a slog to get through them. Couldn't figure out everyone's relationships, motivations, etc. and they were all so unlikable that I didn't care about what happened to any of them. And then an unsatisfying ending. Two stars since some of the atmosphere was fun to read.
