Piglet is less than two weeks out from her wedding when her fiancé tells her something that completely changes the way she sees him and the way she feels about their wedding.
In Piglet, food and meals are used as a storytelling device. The book is more or less exclusively told as a series of conversations and interactions that happen over meals - this does feel relatively unforced and natural though.
I listened to this as an audiobook a little while back. To be honest I didn’t enjoy it all that much. I found the main character incredibly unlikeable but also, and more importantly, I found her actions difficult to understand.
I think if it weren’t for the suspense built around Kit’s dark secret, I may not have finished this one. Overall this book just didn’t do it for me and, a few weeks later, I’ve already forgotten a lot of it!
