Weak Teeth by Lynsey May (Birlinn, 2023)
Fiction
A debut novel that’s getting a lot of attention is Weak Teeth by Lynsey May (ISBN: 9781846976308, hardback). Set in Edinburgh (other cities are available for literary adventures), Ellis's world spins out of control. As the blurb says: ‘her boyfriend has fallen in love with someone else, her job's insecure, her bank account's empty and she has a mouthful of unreliable teeth.’ Toothache is no respecter of life’s traumas. It’s a sharp, witty and warm read.
