Waiting For Doggo by Mark B. Mills isn’t a particularly long book but it’s very entertaining and enjoyable; there’s plenty of humour packed into just over 200 pages. The story focuses on friendships and loyalty, with Daniel’s relationship with Doggo and those he works with being the main focus and which can be enjoyed by anyone, in my opinion, not just dog lovers!

Daniel as a character actually did get on my nerves quite a lot. He comes across as quite annoying and cocky, particularly when
Spoilerhe slept with (and continues to sleep with) his ex girlfriend Clara’s sister. I mean, I know Clara left him but still…
I didn’t find that this helped me warm to him at all. Most of the ‘main characters are actually quite irritating: Clara, Clara’s sister Lucy, and most of the people he works with at the advertising agency.

Regardless of this I really enjoyed the story and found it very humorous. I enjoyed reading about the quite ridiculous happenings at the advertising agency he worked at, and his flourishing relationship with a co-worker. The story is a short but (mostly) sweet ‘rom-com’ (or perhaps more of a ‘lad-lit’?) novel that is easy and fun to read. Recommended!
