Details

FROM KIRKUS REVIEWS:
An addictive novel about a London cookbook editor whose life veers off course weeks before her wedding.
Piglet, the narrator of Hazell’s debut novel, seems to have it all: good job, a new house, and a fiance whose upper-crust family promises to whisk her away from her middle-class upbringing. However, Piglet’s false modesty and her fiance Kit’s lavish toast to her, “the cause of every good thing I have in my life,” set off alarm bells by the end of the first chapter. An italicized note before the start of the next chapter amplifies that unease by letting us know Kit is going to tell Piglet something damaging—we don’t know what—13 days before their wedding. Kit’s betrayal drives the novel forward in an unexpected way.
