Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I really liked the gorgeous, almost sickly descriptions of food and the show-don’t-tell way the author depicted the both the differences between Piglet’s and Kit’s backgrounds and the discomfort Piglet feels within her own body. This book was a challenge to read, mostly because I saw a little too much of myself in Piglet. I think it’s a novel a lot of people will be able to connect to.
