Adorable

Loved this book. The story is one all women should hear. The narrator does a fab job at the voices without it being overly performative. Devoured it in two days!

Much deeper than I was expecting

I was looking for a light read but instead I couldn’t put this down. I am still reeling from the emotional roller coaster this book delivered.

Clever, compelling, moving

I completely underestimated this book going in. I had chosen this one because I genuinely thought it would be a bit of chicken soup for the soul after the hard slog of a book I’d just finished. And it is soul soothing, but it’s also an excellent, compelling story. Well developed characters, deeply moving and very clever. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would have even if I wasn’t also a proud cat lady. Really recommend.

What a range of emotions this book brought to me.

I laughed, I sobbed and reached for my 17yr old cat, my eldest and best friend in the world.
I am Mia.
I had a hard time too growing up, but animals, especially cats, saved my life.
Outwardly, I am talkative, sharing, friendly and competent. The hidden truth is that only the kindness of strangers has kept me moving through life, 62 years now, while my own relationships, marriage & friendships have let me down. Hurt me cruelly even.
Thank you for such a witty, honest look at being a cat lady and proud of it (well I am now). The narrator was amazing, I was immersed! A lovely story woven around an important kick up the a..e for me to get out and find REAL friends that can relate to MY story as Cat Lady.

Pet Lovers Unite

This book is a love letter to anyone who’s ever loved and lost a beloved pet. In classic Dawn fashion this book takes you to some unexpected places while really getting at the heart of the characters, and the love we have for our pets.
