A review by ruth24
Christmas at the Cat Café by Jessica Redland

2.0

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

When I first saw this book, I wanted to pick it up right away because I love cats. Believe it or not, this is the second book I've read that was set in a cat cafe during Christmas!

Overall, this was an okay read for me. I enjoyed reading about the cats, the creative interior design at the cafe, and about fibromyalgia (in particular, the process of accepting the diagnosis and limitations). It did, however, feel like I was being taught about fibromyalgia at times. It didn't always feel natural. The plot was somewhat predictable until the one part, which made me audibly gasp. I liked the romance and thought it was sweet.

I would have liked to hear more about the day-to-day of the cafe, more descriptions of the food and drinks, and different customers to up the cozy factor.

I'd recommend if you're a cat lover or interested in reading about or learning more about chronic pain/illness.
