Interpretation Supposing Books Eating The Cheshire Cat

The debut novel by the author of American Housewife.

Eating the Cheshire Cat lures us into a world of perfectly planned parties and steep social ladders, where traditional rites of passage take unpredictable and horrifying turns as three girls and their overbearing mothers collide.

In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, beauty is as beauty does, with axes and knives and killer smiles.

Sarina Summers and her mother will stop at nothing to have it all. Nicole Hicks harbors a fierce obsession with Sarina, which repeatedly undermines Mrs. Hicks's ambitious goals. Bitty Jack Carlson, a nice girl from the wrong side of the tracks, is caught in the crossfire but struggles to succeed outside the confines of this outrageous yet eerily familiar Southern community. It's survival of the fittest. Which girl will come out on top?

Covering everything from summer camp to the University of Alabama's Homecoming game, this fast-paced and unforgettable novel will keep readers guessing until the bitter end.

Judge About Books Eating The Cheshire Cat
This book was so crazy. I want all my friends to read so we can discuss. Page turner!

Eating the Cheshire Cat by Helen Ellis is a page-turner. Theres so much packed in this novelsuspense, humor, horror, great characters, and so much drama. It takes place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama which contributes wonderfully to the atmosphere of the story. Elliss third person subjective point of view truly makes this novel come to life. We get the alternating perspectives of the three main characters. Sarina, encouraged by her mother, uses her beauty to get what she wants. Her selfishness runs so

The opening chapter of this book consists of a mother drugging her daughter and then proceeding to break her crooked pinky fingers so that they can be reset straighteranything to make her daughter more perfect. And this is when you know youre in for a truly wacky and demented ride.The daughter is Serena Summers, and shes a classic mean girl: beautiful, manipulative, ruthless in getting what she wants. Her next door neighbor, Nicole, is obsessed with her. And Nicoles mother is obsessed with

This book was messed up, yo! But I also enjoyed it in a sick way. To give you an idea, the first thing that happens in this book is that a mother breaks her daughter's pinky fingers with the hammer end of an ax because the daughter is self-conscious about a slight bend in her fingers and they couldn't find a doctor who would do anything about it. Ewww!! Right??! It gets more twisted from there, believe it or not. It's all meant to be a satire of the whole

If you're the type of person, like me, who reads the reviews on the back of the book for an idea on whether or not to get the book, I suggest you read the inside flap...and maybe look through this book a little. Although the reviews may have you thinking that it's a humorous read, the only kind of humor you'll find in this book is, at best, dark. However, having said that, the book was well written and one cannot argue with the fact that it was a book that made you stop and think. The characters

I didn't like anyone in this book except for two very minor characters. But that was ok, because the story was great. I feel like it was a bit fragmented, but perhaps a rereading would help me pick up the threads better. And there's two fat characters whose corpulence is not used as a marker for negative character traits, and a Mamee figure who opts out of being the magical negro.There's suicide, cutting, drug, stalking and child abuse references, which might be triggering for some. But they

This book starts off as demented. It ends as demented. Most of what happens in the middle is demented. I loved it. It's the story of three girls, caught up in the modern-day scratch-and-claw fest that seems to be prevalent under the surface of the popular and upper-crust society, but these girls have a distinctly Southern background. The reader meets Sarina, the prom queen, cheerleader, Tri Delt who has always been loved by everyone and has always gotten her way (often by using such clever
