THIS BOOK IS SO FUCKED UP IM FUCKING WEEPING LIKE A LITTLE CHILD HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IM SO SAD BUT INLOVE IT IT’S ONE OF THE MOST TENDER, HEARTWARMING BOOKS I’VE EVER READ AND IT’S JUST BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO READ ABOUT. I DONT EVEN LIKE CATS ALL THAT MUCH BUT IM JUST SO. FUCKING. SAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭

okay it’s not 1am anymore so im gonna write a more proper review. this book was one of the most wholesome, witty, and crushing books i have ever read. it put so much emphasis on the relationships we build throughout our lives and how we carry that with us til the end.  it’s also as much about human connection as it is the love between master and pet, and it’s just. so beautiful that i actually wept while reading it (also a very, very quick read β€” i finished most of it in one sitting). highly recommend this to everyone who just wants a good book; fair warning though, it will make you bawl your fucking eyes out.
