About this listen

Ellis’s life has crumbled without warning. 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. Forced back to her childhood home, there is little in the way of comfort. Her mum is dating a younger man (a dentist, no less) and is talking of selling the house; her sister, Lana, is furious all the time; and a distant cousin has now arrived from the States to stay with them.

During a long, hot Edinburgh summer, Ellis’s world spins out of control. She’s dogged by toothaches, her ex won’t compensate her for the flat and somehow she’s found herself stalking his new lover on Facebook.

Will Ellis realise before it’s too late that the bite she was born with is worth preserving?

Critic reviews

'Lynsey May pulls up the roots of trauma, both in relationships and the body. It probes what can happen when life confronts you in unmistakable ways that force you to take back control.' (Jenni Fagan)
'Full of pin-sharp observations about human nature and shot through with May’s pitch black, glorious sense of humour – as well as compassion for her flawed characters.' (Lucy Ribchester, author of The Hourglass Factory)
'Weak Teeth is a warm and witty exploration of our hidden vulnerabilities, our unspoken disappointments, the embarrassing subtext of our lives. Sharply observed and hugely enjoyable.' (Catherine Simpson, award-winning author of Truestory)

A Family Drama with Bite 😬😂

Deceptively breezy, this is a forensic examination of families and suppressed grief. Ellis is relatable - infuriating and fragile but always likeable. I was on the verge of tears a couple of times, rooting for her to process her feelings and find resolution. May’s writing has been compared to Sally Rooney and Meg Mason but, for me, it’s closest literary bedfellow is Candice Carty-Williams’s Queenie.

Very good

Clever. Good story. Not sure about the romance at the centre. But otherwise better than expected. I look forward to hearing more from Lynsey May.
