This was a super super cute light quick read that was a lot of fun.
The illustrations were gorgeous and I’ve taken photos to try to recreate some of the outfits that Henry and Olive wear bc CUTE!!!!
Henry is hilarious, I love how quick witted and also oblivious his dialogue is - after all he’s still an actual cat! I forced my husband to read it after me and he CACKLED (and proceeded to want to buy it as a coffee table book)
It’s very self aware and I love all of the parts where they talk about creativity and careers, especially the scene with olives parents and her drop kick brother.
Overall had such a good time with this and read it in a sitting.
I read it as we had bought if for the school library I work at but I think it would hit much better for the 20-late 20s age group as it has a lot of fuck knows what I’m doing with my life vibes. For anyone who wants to be a creative or artist for a living (or just generally) i think you’ll find this endearingly familiar and achingly real ahhahaha.
