NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST, VOGUE, MARIE CLAIRE, READER’S DIGEST, POPSUGAR, AUTOSTRADDLE, & GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD IN FICTION From the author of the New York Times-bestselling sensation Mostly Dead Things, With Teeth is a surprising and moving story of two mothers, one difficult son, and the limitations of marriage, parenthood, and love. If she's being honest, Sammie Lucas is scared of her son. Working from home in the close quarters of their Florida house, she lives with one wary eye peeled on Samson, a sullen, unknowable boy who resists her every attempt to bond with him. Uncertain in her own feelings about motherhood, she tries her best—driving, cleaning, cooking, prodding him to finish projects for school—while growing increasingly resentful of Monika, her confident but absent wife. Blending the warmth and wit of Arnett's breakout hit, Mostly Dead Things, with a candid take on queer family dynamics, With Teeth is a thought-provoking portrait of the delicate fabric of family—and the many ways it can be torn apart. As usual, after the discussion we'll go to Wilde Bar for dinner, drinks, and conversation. We hope to see you then!
