When a copy of Milk Teeth was in my postbox on Friday morning I honestly felt like I’d won the lottery and had to explain to my parents who were looking at me with rather great levels of concern what this book was and why I was so worked up over it.But when he invites her to join him in Barcelona, the promise of pleasure and care makes her uneasy. The descriptions of food are particularly memorable, emphasising the tensions between her appetite and what our narrator will allow herself. With unironic uses of stars and constellations that propel plot and navigate our narrator, I'm not quite sure how many filtered sunsets I needed to read through to get to any meaning whatsover.

So, when Milk Teeth arrived I quickly polished off what I was reading so I could jump straight into it and waste no time.Growing up, her father is abusive towards her mother, money something that is controlled, while her and her friends attempt to fit a constrictive beauty standard that’ll have them fold their sharp, jagged edges into a tiny box. While Ira's character made me relate to her, Kaiz infuriated me(sometimes)and Kartik showed me the personality of someone with many layers. Partly I think it’s to do with the subject matter -more the romantic relationship entanglements, which became a tad repetitive in nature (also I’m not a huge romance fan) and perhaps also to do with the narrator herself. A girl grows up in the north-east of England amid scarcity, fearing her own desires and feeling undeserving of love.

They meet again, go dancing and spend the night together sparking a passion that consumes them both. Andrews makes the case for a life lived abundantly and ardently, full of sensation and pleasure, risk and safety.Themes of loneliness, belonging, identity and love - and how we're ultimately deserving of it - will both break and warm your heart.

I felt like the author focussed too much on the setting- the build-up and the language, more than the actual plot. In 2020 I read Saltwater and it’s sat with me ever since, its lyrical beauty has held me captive since reading and I’ve been craving more of Andrews’s painfully honest prose since I finished it. I just don't know what the author was trying to get at within this book, because clearly we were supposed to feel compassion for the characters, but all I feel is indifference.In the shimmering Mediterranean heat, she is faced with both pleasure and shame, and must find out if she is able to change.
