I wish I could give this book a higher rating. I was drawn to it when I saw it on the shelves and ended up devouring it, forcing myself to slow down so I could stay in Solace a little longer.

I loved the perspectives of the characters, how different they can be. Lawson does a very good job fleshing out the characters, making them feel real and relatable, even though they vary greatly. I found myself relating to a 7 year old, an elderly woman, and a middle aged divorced man three chapters in. 

You don't have to be related to be family. Family are those you trust, and those who value you. 

Here's to Clara, Elizabeth, and Liam Kane,
Keeper of the Fucking Cat
