Bookseller Recommendation…
Kerry recommends Piglet by Lottie Hazelle.
For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent.
Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding... But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is!
"I loved this novel about wanting - and deserving, and learning to deserve - more."
