would've finished this much sooner had 1. i not been busy moving from one house to another (so packing, throwing things out, etc.) and 2. my cat not been sick therefore making it hard for me to read about cats because i was genuinely scared and worried the worst might happen (he's fine now) lmao
anyway my favorite story was the temperature of the world + the epilogue made me all teary eyed i love my cat so much mango if u could read this just know i love u a lot
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)!
MADE ME FEEL THINGS
