Cats and Christmas? You don't need to tell me much more to get me to read a book.
Kara is struggling to get her cat rescue/clinic/cafe fully up and running. Thanks to an unexpected ad and contest in a magazine, Kara and Charity find a line outside the cafe one morning. While good for the bills, Kara worries that ghosts from her past will come back to haunt her with the sudden attention. At the same time, Ben enters his life, his colleague Schwartz the one responsible for the cat cafe's recent publicity. When a stray kitten brings him back to see Kara, the two slowly begin to realize they're drawn to one another despite their differences.
A Cat Cafe Christmas is sweet, funny, and charming. I laughed out loud multiple times which doesn't happen too often with books for me. And the cat illustrations and bios at the beginning of each chapter are so adorable. Kara's backstory added a good hint of emotion, as did Ben's, to an otherwise cozy story. Perfect for cat-lovers!

**Thank you to Forever and Netgallery for giving me the opportunity to read this book. All opinions are my own.**
I listened to this through audiobook, due to me not being able to read books physically for some time. It's been difficult. But, the narrator at first rubbed me the wrong way with the MC's voices, but I got adjusted.
Overall, this story was good. There were some mishaps that I wasn't really enjoying, and it has fallen flat for me. But, the overarch of the story was good, and that was a good thing.
It was a fun Christmas story.
