A review by justwingit03
Christmas at the Cat Café by Jessica Redland

Did not finish book.

I could not get myself to connect with the main character Tabby.

After reading about the Leon’s reason for breaking up and the flash back to the day before buying the cafe I could not keep reading. Understandable that she is bummed about the breakup but not seeing the signs that a partner is burnt out from the relationship and still playing the victim was the most annoying part. Tabby tells the reader that she depended too much on Leon and didn’t recognize during the relationship that it was a burden. Afterwards, instead of moving forward and focusing on her cafe, there are still discussions about opening the restaurant and blaming Leon for her anxiety about doing it alone. The lack of accountability for assuming the risk of opening a cafe on her own is where I drew the line and DNF the book.
