A review by elearmo
She and Her Cat by Makoto Shinkai, Naruki Nagakawa
hopeful
medium-paced
5.0
I adored this read. I saw the size of the book (135 pages) and assumed it must be a book for younger readers— DEFINITELY NOT. there are strong adult themes (sa, death, depression), but I think they are approached/handled well. I think it could definitely invite some good conversations/discussions with teens or maybe even a mature pre-teen, but I don’t think I would recommend for anyone younger than that.
ANYWAY. the stories themselves are beautifully written. I love the way the perspective flips back and forth between the cats and their owners and how their lives are made better by having each other. it’s just such a unique book and so well-written! I cannot recommend it highly enough (especially if you’re a cat lover such as myself)!
