Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats by Courtney Gustafson

5.0

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

---

Poets Square is a book about cat rescue, finding yourself and depression. It's a hard, honest read about rescue, about finding community, fitting in and being a young adult in today's world. It's funny, it's honest, it's sad. Courtney is self-reflective and tells the story of people through the lens of cats. I cried at least three times. As a person in rescue myself, I saw a lot of myself in this book.
