This was a close 3. 

Much like Piglet I was just left unsatisfied. There were more things I was finding I didn’t like than I did. 

As one other reviewer said, eating disorders used as a way to move the plot is boring. Piglet binge eats as she finds out a horrible betrayal right before she is set to get married. Whilst trying to control everything else, she loses control over her ability to just stop eating. 

Eventually she tells everyone what her husband has done after she binges in a really oddly written way. I had envisioned a big baby yelling more, when she keeps asking for more food to be brought to her. 

As a commentary to pursuing our desires, knowing when enough is enough, and how constricting the patriarchy through the use of food…Butter did it better
