Piglet by Lottie Hazell

5.0

My first 5 star read of 2024! This had me enthralled. I was unable to do nothing else but obsess over this book until I finished it. I loved the opening dinner party scene and was immediately intrigued by the characters. The writing style drew me in immediately, and the suspense and hints of betrayal kept me reading. I loved the messiness and depth of all the characters, and especially loved Margot. I am one of those eat to live rather than live to eat people, and actually find food as a requirement of living kind of annoying, so I was unsure how a book centered around food and hunger as a central theme would work for me but it was done beautifully. What an incredible debut novel! Going to be reflecting on this one for a long time.
