1.0

This book was unbelievably sad and depressing. It got sadder as it went on. Would I recommend this book to anyone? If your’re into reading about dysfunctional relationships and eating disorders, then this is the book for you. 

I hated most of the characters and what was happening in the story. A grown woman be called Piglet, Pig, Piggie by everyone from her fiancée, siblings & parents was rage inducing.

I friggin hate the fact that this book reflected my life too much, and that’s a good thing.

I just wish there’s a trigger warning mentioned beforehand. I cried for a total of 8 times because of how much the eldest daughter, overcoming her body image issues, trope reminded me of my childhood trauma of my relatives calling me a hippo.
