This was so good and such a solid debut!  I had picked this up previously and DNF'd it soon after but this time when I picked it up I read it until it was finished over a Sunday. 
I feel like it was pretty fast paced for a book with almost no plot and lots and lots of character study. 

Pig was such an interesting mind, and its been a long time since I've enjoyed a contemporary "woman in late 20s loses the plot" book and enjoyed it (I just read too many one after the other I think) but I liked to see her develop her own tastes (ha!) and own mind. Even though most of the time she was wholly unlikable. I really enjoyed Margot and Fran and thought they were probably the best fleshed out side characters, Kit's parents and even her parents being a little more caricatures of "poor people" and "rich people" 

I loved the way Lottie explored female friendships and being in your late 20s with everything changing aorund you but not at the same time different rates as your friends and I think I related someone in this position. 

This book tried to make a comment on class, but I don't think it quite managed it rather than just pointing out all the differences and how much she had to change herself to be a part of a new family, but having been married recently myself I think the commentary of who she belonged too, and do you just have a new family now that you share a name very interesting and thought provoking. 

Although there was almost no plot, this book truly kept me on my toes and anxious at all the bits it was supposed too, the wedding day melt down and subsequent events was a masterclass in pacing, I felt so stressed reading about all the things that were slowly making her lose her marbles (also having been through a wedding day myself recently, felt all those little moments deeply)

Towards the middle it was starting to get a tad repetitive but it came back in the last third with the wedding. 

I would've loved to actually find out what Kit did, but hey ho -

assumed cheating?

Pig is a deeply flawed and real human and she treated the people she loved not well in her pursuit of happiness and status so it's easy not to like her but I was truly fond of her at the end. 

Loved the writing style, it was flowery and a little poetic while still being to the point and strong. The writing style matched Pig and her mind perfectly in my opinion. All the descriptions of food were amazing, LOVED those pieces of writing, you can tell the author truly loves food and to write
