Stella by McCall Hoyle
5.0

This is a heart-warming gem told from a dog’s perspective and her experiences with humans, other animals, feelings, and smells. The writing is very easy to understand but does not take away from the complexities of emotions Stella is feeling throughout the book. Hoyle does an exceptional job at addressing topics of death, grief, PTSD, trauma, trust, and healing. Stellas relationship with Cloe was especially heart-warming because it doesn’t happen overnight, instead it develops through trial, error and learning to trust one another. This is a must-have book in everyone’s bookshelf!
