The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood

4.0

---

I loved the constant metaphors that Atwood uses throughout this and I found the characters so charming and nuanced. The moments of character monologues added a lot to the novel; every character felt so fleshed-out and fully-realised it was remarkable. I can definitely imagine this book adapted into a play. I wish the plot had more peaks and valleys however I found joy in the simple moments in the book and thought the references to contemporary consumer culture brilliant.
