The Girl, the Gold Tooth, and Everything By Francine LaSala



Mina Clark is losing her mind—or maybe it’s already gone. She isn’t quite sure. Feeling displaced in her over-priced McMansion-dotted suburban world, she is grappling not only with deep debt, a mostly absent husband, and her playground-terrorizer 3-year old Emma, but also with a significant amnesia she can’t shake—a “temporary” condition now going on several years, brought on by a traumatic event she cannot remember, and which everyone around her feels is best forgotten.

When a trip to the dentist leaves Mina with a new gold crown, her whole life changes. Slowly her memory and her mojo return. But when everything begins to crash down around her, she's not sure if what's happening is real, of if she's just now fully losing her mind... especially when she realizes the only person she can trust is the one she fears the most. What’s it all going to cost her in the end?

OK, so 8 days later ( there should be a clue there) and I'm finally finished.  Francine Lasala is a great writer with an amazing imagination but I really struggled with this book and until I got about half way, I even toyed with the idea of not finishing it, only my need to know what the hell was going on with Mina and who's real and who's not made me continue.  I feel really awful not liking the book because so many people have loved it, but sadly its not for me

I give it 3.5 STARS
