3 1/2 Stars
Started a little slow
fibromyalgia is a big topic in this book
Didn't give the Christmas vibes I was expecting
Trigger warning about cat loss
The love story fell a little flat for me
Childhood friends(/family by adoption) that fall in love

As per usual Jessica Redland has knocked it out of the park.
I loved this story, I am a huge cat person and loved the relationship between tabby and her feline family.

Her medical trials really resonated with me. I dont have fibromyalga however I have suffered with post viral fatigue which has many of the same symptoms minus the tremendous pain of a red day. We actually use the 'spoon level' analogy a lot in our house. So that I found written fantastically.

The relationship between Tabby and Tom was a lovely one to watch blossom and her own personal journey of trying to figure out whether her dream of the cat cafe was infact what she wanted to do was a special one to read.

Thanks Jessica for once again bringing me to Castle Street. I always love to visit that part of the world.

I really wanted this to be a 5 star and certain elements were (the cat cafe setting, the close community, the fibro rep) but I wasn’t keen on the romance! Full review in my November book balance on Books and Bargains YouTube
