This one is hard for me to rate, based on a few passages that gave me the ick. I still love the stories, but they're not flawless.

Spoiler

There are a lot of heavy topics handled. Loneliness, anxiety/panic disorder, sexual assult, inappropriate boss behaviour, and a lot of mentions of death in varying degrees (mostly animal). Do not pick up if mentions of such triggers you! For me the topics were handled alright, so do with that as you may.

It's easy to tell how much I love cats—I didn't want to give this book a bad rating "because the cat on the cover deserves better", and I got very emotional about it too. That aside, there are two great things about this book: it's about cats and it is a very quick read. The first two parts weren't amazing but they kept me interested, which the rest of the book really didn't. Some scenes managed to stir up some emotions in me, especially with the dog Jon, however, not enough to save the book. The cats didn't feel like cats and the humans lacked depth. On top of this, having the male cat believe he's in a romantic relationship with his female owner didn't make any sense and really sums up the views expressed in this book. Maybe good writing could have saved it but it was nothing to write home about and the POV switches were too often and too boring. Definitely my least favourite cat-centered book but at least it was over in less than a day.

A cute story about cats and their owners. Loved the way the stories were intertwined. The book was so simple and ordinary, showing just how beautiful life can be at its simplest.

// 

Suloinen tarina kissoista ja niiden omistajista. Rakastin tapaa joilla tarinat kietoutui yhteen. Kirja oli niin yksinkertainen ja tavallinen, ja se osoitti kuinka kaunista elämä voi olla yksinkertaisimmillaan.
