Mostly relaxing with mild humour, but it does get quite sad and emotional.
2 chapters deal with the death of a young colleague,it is quite drawn out and sad and unnecessarily repetitive.
If you wish to skip it,you won't be missing much,other than two of the colleagues start dating slowly .
Chpt 15 (shocks and sadness) & 16 ( time to saygoodbye).Chapter 17 also has the death of the granpa of the little girl going blind.
The trip to the groomers was comical but also sad how Felix absolutemy hated it.
In this 2nd book the author comes across a lot more as nosy and trying to get people emotional, picking out mostly Felix fans that are dying,or disabled,not really putting the focus on the cat. It seem insensitive how she states that one of the station babies was an accidental pregnancy.
"Felix the Facebooker" chapter from book 1 is repeated 🤦♀️
Mostly relaxing and heartwarming. The sad topics and close to shouting dialogue in the audiobook make it less so.

An enjoyable and sometimes touching read:) Felix may be the title character but this is also a lovely peek behind the scenes and a chance to follow the lives of the great team of staff.

I think if you had not read the first Felix book, you can easily pick this one up and feel comfortable. Pretty sure first 8 chapters were just recap of life from the first book. Scene setting as it were. It felt quite repetitive all through out really (to bulk the book out). What I really enjoyed were the heartwarming anecdotes about all the charity work and the impact on people’s lives (staff & fans) when Felix does important meet & greets. Poor Bolt was confined to the last few chapters. The title being what it is, I was expecting much more about him.

It wasn’t long after reading the first book that a colleague came into the office after a work trip and told us she had weirdly spotted a cat on a train station, ‘Huddersfield?’ I asked. ‘How did you know?’ she replied. I explained I had read the book not that long ago and she said she was off to get a copy.
And it was nice to meet back up with Felix, although it did make me laugh when they say at 7 she is getting on and are talking about her retirement, I mean you should see my 17 year old girl go! That said there are some heart warming stories and the amount the station staff and Felix have raised for charity is fabulous. The appearance of Bolt is pretty late on in the book but he really does sound like a cheeky chappy, and the social media posts show just how cute he is. I guess there may well be a third instalment at some point.

Bolt doesn’t actually show up until the last third of the book. Forgivable, since Felix is so darn engaging. I did not expect this many tears while reading. A colleagues death, Felix growing older (and nearly getting kicked by a patron! On purpose!!), a terminally ill visitor ... several times I had to swallow the tears back as I read. But overall, very sweet and totally engaging.
