Is she legit releasing a self help book giving advice on how to make your life great when hers is so chaotic and she seems to take a nose dive every other week? To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It's a cautionary tale, typical of stories aimed at young children, yet Hargreaves subverts the form by misinterpreting the moral of the tale.

As someone who identifies as bisexual, it was refreshing to hear another talk about the issues that arise dealing with both the hetero and queer communities. The endless footnotes and parenthetical statements, that are apparently supposed to add context, are very distracting and mostly serve as a virtue signal for how cool and woke she is. What Hargreaves is talking about here is not so much greed, but gluttony – which is one of the seven deadly since. The writing in "Greedy" is fun and fluid, wounded and questioning, and rightfully seeking space for both – aka, this book is deeply bisexual. Hargreaves was born in a private hospital at 201 Bath Road, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, England, to Alfred Reginald and Ethel Mary Hargreaves, and grew up in High Lees, 703 Halifax Road, also in Cleckheaton, outside of which there now is a commemorative plaque.I don't think I've ever been more disappointed to give a book two stars, but I also haven't disliked a book this much in a LONG time.

In an incredible scene Greedy happens upon a secret room filled with over-sized foodstuffs such as oranges bigger than himself and peas the size of footballs.

Pea’s expressions are splendid as he relishes every morsel of the meal; so too are those of the royal moggy and the princess.Not releasing it before Christmas because it’s a New Years book but you can only get it in new year not in anticipation of new year. Okay, the seas have just become a little rough, so it is going to be interesting to see if I can finish this review in one piece.

I had hoped for a book with a more sophisticated take on being bi - how we may code switch depending on the relationship, how we are viewed by others when we don’t stick to one “box/label,” how our sense of identity might morph over time… and this is decidedly not that. The word 'bisexual' gave me something external to hold on to, an 'oh shit' handle I could grab as the earth shifted beneath my feet.
