A beautifully mad and wacky read, perfect for any crazy cat ladies looking to take back ownership of the title!

Like all Dawn’s novels, Cat Lady is compelling and hilarious but also perilously on the edge of disturbing in places!

This novel is a really interesting deconstruction of the “cat lady” stereotype (and other stereotypes in fact) as well as an exploration of mental health, grief, trauma and abuse of power, as well as the powerful love and bond one can have with animals who, let’s face it, tend to love a bit more unconditionally than humans do. I really enjoyed it but did find myself absolutely cringing at one point, wondering how far the author was going to go with it! I do admire authors who are braver than I ever would be :)

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC.

Funny, relatable and an absolute tear-fest. Do not read this whole book when you've come on your period, the tears won't stop.
