I enjoyed this follow up to baby teeth, it was a quick read told from Hanna's point of view.

I'd like to thank netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book

I'm a huge fan of Zoje Stage. This is a sequel to BABY TEETH, which I never thought would happen. I couldn't picture Hanna as a functioning adult after the events of that book. But at the start, Hanna is doing great. She is a phlebotomist and derives sadistic pleasure from sticking needles into veins. Her calculating plan to snag an older man works; now he will take care of her. Hanna's life becomes comfortable and routine. She writes letters to her baby brother, goes on long runs, and holds down her job. Occasionally she throws some manipulation into the family to get attention. But when her husband's daughter, Joelle, gets pregnant, the spotlight turns on her. Hanna struggles to accept the change--and her Other self may just emerge again.

I liked how the book started quietly with only a few references to Hanna's past. Then the tension ramped up considerably through the second half as I wondered what she would do. I guessed the twist, but the way there was superb and satisfying. Now I have to wait patiently for whatever comes next from Stage.

This was my first book by this author and it has definitely inspired me to read more. This was an amazing story, great characters and a fantastic twist that i never saw coming. The main character Hanna was very strange with bizarre imagination indeed!! You just never knew what she was going to do next and then her story unfolds. Absolutely loved this book.

Thanks to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for allowing me an advanced copy to read in exchange for my open and honest review. As always, my reviews will also be posted on Amazon, Goodreads and Waterstones and interaction on Facebook and instagram where possible.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. Dear Hanna follows Hanna, of course, years later from the first book, Baby Teeth, as a married adult. She tells us all about her continued struggles containing her dark side, especially when she learns something about her step-daughter. We also get to read her communications back and forth with her brother Goose. I did enjoy the twist at the very end, but wish it had come sooner. It felt like it was given to the reader at the last second and the rest of the book was just anticlimactic. I was bored most of the time reading this unfortunately. There just wasn’t much going on and the same thing was drug out. I would not recommend.

I was prepared for disappointment, unsure of how Zoje Stage would possibly follow up Baby Teeth without veering into the unbelievable or cliched villain. In my limited imagination, I could only come up with some schlocky, fake-reddit-post-level twists. But I shouldn't have worried--this was every bit as good as at the first. I won't say more for fear of spoiling the plot, but it's well worth a read.

Okay I LOVED hanging out with Hanna again!

This book was a bit slower for me than Baby Teeth, but we did have a lot of catching up to do with Hanna since she’s now an adult. It was so interesting to see her with a career and her own family, but also catch up with her parents along the way as well.

I’ll forever be wondering what that girl is up to.

I was stoked to receive an ARC from NetGalley to the sequel of Baby Teeth!! I thought Baby Teeth was creepy, enthralling, and dark! Dear Hanna lacked all of that. It was mid. I saw the twist coming from the start. The story lacked an overall plot. I loved seeing Hanna as an adult and the life she decided to build for herself. It was an easy to read novel. It just was boring and lacked the edge that the first book had.

Dear Hanna was so much more than I could ever ask for. Baby teeth was one of my top favorite reads when it was released and I’m so glad we were able to continue Hanna’s story. The twist towards the end totally blew me away. I was NOT EXPECTING THAT. Honestly I wish I could give Hanna a hug because I feel like she deserves it. I can’t recommend Dear Hanna enough. 5/5 stars!

I was so excited to receive an advanced copy of the audio book. I’ve waited for Dear Hanna to be released for a quite some time and it did not disappoint. This story follows Hanna, who is now all grown up. She’s having to deal with adult responsibilities in her new life. It is difficult to relate to a sociopath, but Zoje Stage made it much easier in this Baby Teeth follow-up. This is a must read if you enjoyed Baby Teeth! The audiobook was great, the narrator did an awesome job.

This book was so dang good.

Things I liked:
- Hanna and her creepiness
- The storyline and plot overall was easy to follow, enjoyable and thrilling.

The one and only thing I don’t like. Was the fact that it jumped from the last timeline of the book to her being an adult…and only alittle about what was I between it all. I’m talking like a decade and a half of nothing

Overall really loved this book!

I really enjoyed Baby Teeth, so I was very excited to be able to read an early copy of the follow up novel Dear Hanna. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity.
This book was so different from Baby Teeth, as it’s told from Hanna’s perspective as an adult, married with a teen aged step-daughter. It also incorporates letters written between Hanna and her younger brother Goose.
The twists blew me away! I’m excited to recommend this book.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC of Dear Hanna by Zoje Stage.

There is definitely a whole vibe that Stage is going for in her novels, this is the third I've read of her's.

I love a dark and twisty suspense, but this wasn't really dark, or twisty enough for me. Worse than that, it was reeeeally slow. Way too much build up, not near enough pay off. There was absolutely nothing about the end of the book that surprised me, at all. And it took forever to get there.

It's not a bad book, I wouldn't say it's boring, or dry, I just don't know if it's worth the time.

I love that Hanna is a little bit of a menace. We don't have enough books with likable women who are also menaces and weirdos.
She is hilarious and low key evil and I love her. She is a whole problem.
I love that this is a domestic drama with normal stuff but Hanna is absolutely not normal. It was lovely.

I'm so glad we got to spend more time with Hanna! Baby Teeth was the book that got me back into reading as an adult, so it's only fitting that I read this in one night, haha.

DH picks back up with Hanna years after she gets out of the special school, while she's still living with her parents but looking for a way out. She meets a widowed man with a young daughter and, at first, married life is easy and breezy although Hanna doesn't love the idea that she's become "domestic." Hanna's world turns upside down when her stepdaughter, Jo, gets into trouble and Hanna has to find a way to prevent Jo from the biggest mistake in her life. Of course, she does so in the classic Hanna fashion we saw in Baby Teeth. Part of the story is told throughout Hanna's letters to her brother, Goose, who is always down for any of Hanna's plans. For me, the letters somewhat disrupted the action of Hanna's home life but I can see why this relationship was important for her.

It was so much fun, thank you for this ARC of my most anticipated book of forever!

This was a great sequel. Enjoyed reading about grownup Hanna and her exploits. I realize I shouldn't like this character, but I do.
The plot was well thought out/written.

I loved the book Baby Teeth and wasn't sure how this book would be able to successfully carry on the story of Hanna, but the amount of time that has elapsed in the fictional world between the first book and this one really made the whole story. I really enjoyed that most of this book was letters between Hanna and her little brother, Goose, the only member of her family she has a somewhat healthy relationship with. I thought the characters were very relatable and that the plot twists were written in really well and that they weren't completely over the top.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I loved this follow up to Baby Teeth. Zoje has an impressive writing style that you can’t help but admire.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC of #DearHanna #Netgalley

I recently read Babyteeth and shortly after Zoje Stage announced a sequel of the book Dear Hanna!! I applied for this so fast lol. Unfortunately, I was expecting more!! Hanna has matured a lot more since our last visit with her in Babytheeth. She is now a fully grown adult in her 20's. When BabyTeeth ended she was placed in an in-patient facility where she received a lot of support and developed personally. The storyline wasn't what I was hoping for! I was waiting for her to push boundaries and take a few more steps to the dark side lol. I was expecting complete mayhem but it never materialized. This book is great but it could have been better knowing what Hanna did in BabyTeeth!

I will start this review by saying that I was not team sequel. I believe Baby Teeth was perfect ending in ambiguity. However, I know a majority of reader enjoy tidier endings and will love this sequel.

The big reveal seemed glaringly obvious from the beginning, but I was intrigued to see how we’d get there. It was definitely a wild ride along the way. Hanna still has a knack for getting under my skin and making me extremely uncomfortable (the whole appetizer plan?! HELLO?! Deranged) but nothing quite compares to a psychopathic child. Ultimately, I believe the only real downside to Dear Hanna was that its predecessor was SO good.

Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this.

I've read all of Zoje Stage's books, and was very eager to read this one. This is a stand alone sequel to her debut 'Baby Teeth' If you've never read Zoje before, now would be a wonderful time to start. I started with 'Baby Teeth' being drawn in by the cover, and synopsis. When I found out a sequel was coming I squealed with excitement. This stand alone sequel is great, because it doesn't matter if you've read her debut or not. Read them in any order. I had actually planned on re-reading 'Baby Teeth' but I didn't. In 'Baby Teeth' Hanna is a child, in ' Dear Hanna' she's an adult. It was a thrilling slow burn, of terror, and horror. I kept reading, and didn't want to put the book down. If you like books on evil children, then I suggest you pick this one up. Sure, she's not a child anymore, but it shows that evil can still lurk.
Told mostly between letters of Hanna, and her brother Goose. You find out more of what goes on in her head, and the type of relationships she holds. Be ready for a fun thrill ride this summer, and don't leave this one behind.
