Tatum Comes Home by Mica Stone

4.0

Tatum Comes Home is a cute family themed story of a beloved pet (Tatum) and the people who help him find his way back home. The story is loosely based on TikTok sensation Tatum of Tatum Talks. While I did check Tatum’s Instagram account, I didn’t feel that Tatum’s social media status added any value to the narrative. In fact, I think the social media posts detracted from the storyline in the novel.

The plot follows a pretty straightforward lost and found theme. There weren’t any plot twists. But there were tangential stories that were supposed to add some additional drama. However, I felt that those tangential stories were there as fillers to boost the word count as I didn’t think they did much to enhance the story itself.

There were so many characters in the novel that it got a little tedious to keep track of them all. And because there were so many characters, I didn’t feel that any were developed to their full potential.

Overall, I found Tatum Comes Home to be entertaining and enjoyable. And since I love animal stories — especially dog stories, Tatum Comes Home was a win with four stars.

I received a DRC from Kensington Books through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
