4.0
A moving and deftly woven confessional about love and selfishness and despair and whiteness and intergenerational trauma.

Nothing shocked me more than this book.
I picked this up because I am a sucker for anything with a cat on the cover but this one was so much more than a cat on the cover.
While the focus of this book does refer to Mary Gaitskill losing a cat that she adopted from Italy, it is a book about loss and love and everything in between.
On some levels, it is so hard to depict why I did love this book but I think that at the time that I read it is was probably what I needed. It is a very personal and well-written book that I think everyone will get something from it.
Also, this proves to me that my reading taste is a little bit more diverse than I thought it could be and never to judge a book by its cover.
