3.0

The cover is what caught my eye initially, but the story proved to be interesting. The story follows Piglet, or Pig, and the events leading up to her wedding day. Something her fiancé discloses to her prior to the wedding creates a giant riff in their relationship and we follow Piglet wrestling with her future. There is a lot of comments on class in this novel. If you have ever dated someone out of your tax bracket, or from a more educated family, you may be able to relate. Overall though, I did not particularly care for the numerous descriptive food scenes. It felt like Julia Child and scenes from Disney's Ratatouille took over this book. Also, I wanted to know the husbands secret so badly and the author strung me along, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't work for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Henry Holt and Co. for this digital ARC.
