This book made me uncomfortable. It also made me think and consider life, so I powered through the uncomfortable.
The characters seemed very real, with real problems and responses to each other. Some of the reactions of the main character don't seem to align with her character. They call her Piglet, but she seems to have a healthy relationship with food and there is not a time in the past when she had issues. Then, suddenly, she does have issues. It seemed to come out of nowhere.
One of the characters does something, but rather than tell us at the beginning, the author just gives us reactions. It was an interesting way to tell the story that I've never seen before.
I may read more books by this author.
