Imagine a line of traffic slowing to gawk at a car crash: two banged-up vehicles hauled to the side of the interstate (no casualties). Now imagine both cars are on fire. And add a juggling act in front of them. Thatâs roughly what it feels like to read
Kristen Arnettâs second novel,
With Teeth, out this week from Riverhead Books. Itâs a story animated by and delighting in chaos, like watching a terrible Tinder date unfold across a restaurant.

Real Housewives fans. After the drama and plot were lackluster throughout season 13 of
The
Real Housewives of Atlanta, the most shocking development actually happened after the reunion wrapped.
Porsha Williams is engaged to Simon Guobadia after one month of dating. That s not the jaw-dropping moment, though. Simon is

Her onscreen superpowers are razor-sharp repartee and immunity to social awkwardness. But Frankel didnât join the series to make friends, accumulate fame, or showcase her brassy charismaâshe wanted to promote herself as a chef.
