Esio Trot by Roald Dahl
2.0

I don't love that a guy lies to a woman he wants to be with, ends up donating her beloved pet, and marrying her under false pretenses.
I'll force myself to believe that the woman knew all along what he was up to and just wanted a bigger tortoise and had no emotional attachment to that particular tortoise in question.
The illustrations are great and makes it seem super sweet, but after reading it I found it a little off putting. Not my favorite of Dahl for sure.
