I really loved this book. In many ways I felt like it was written just for me. Kitty is so unapologetically a cat lady and as a woman who talks to her cat and is obsessed with cats, I loved seeing that. Also all of the social awkwardness and putting your foot in your mouth - I feel that. One of the big things Miles and Kitty share is having lost a family member and gotten stuck living in a home that hasn’t moved on. While I haven’t lost anyone quite that close, I did lose my grandma recently and it was really tough. These parts of the book really made me sad but it was also kind of cathartic and a comfort to read. I am really hoping we will get a second book featuring Hattie and Josh - and more cats!!!
