The Last Astronaut by Chris Dietzel
4.0
I nearly cried twice while reading this book - and it's a short one. Now I just want to sit in silence and think about it.
Yes, it's basically a love song to a cat by an astronaut after he lost him, and who happens to think that this loss is larger than the fact that the human race is going extinct. But it's also a very poignant and deep story about grieving and coming to terms with loss, friendship and love. And also a tale about the Solar system. It's an unusual book, but I honestly will not forget it anytime soon. It will give you the feels, and if you've lost a close friend in your life, especially a pet friend... you will bawl your eyes out.
I think this was a freebie. I was lucky.
