A Cat Cafe Christmas by Codi Gary

3.0

In this cozy small-town Christmas read, veterinarian and cat café proprietor Kara and marketing man Ben don’t make the best first impressions on each other, but as they get to know each other more, they realize that friendship—and maybe something more—can grow between them.

This is a cute read about good people who do good things for others. Both main characters have baggage that they need to work through, but with the help of a couple of good friends, a clowder of cats, and each other, they grow, change, and heal.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dating profile descriptions of the cats and their punny names at the beginning of each chapter as well as the antics and personalities of some of the feline friends—especially kitten Chaos who insinuates himself into Ben’s life—but overall, the book lacked a spark for me. It was a sweet, but not engrossing, read.

I received an advance copy from Forever and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.
