Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats by Courtney Gustafson

5.0

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats is the memoir of Courtney Gustafson, author by choice, cat rescuer & cat influencer by chance.

Courtney moves into a house in Poets Square to find out that her new home comes with a feral cat colony, population: 30.

She also shares the greatest love story of ever told: Sad Boy & Lola. May we all be lucky enough to experience love like theirs.

She tells the stories of not only the cats, but her own. She beautifully draws parallels between their existence, and her own life.

In advocating for these cats, she begins to advocate for her community, and finally, herself. Her journey, and the journey of the cats who have felt her love, is heartwarming, & wonderfully told in this memoir.

Thank you to @netgalley & @crownpublishing for this ARC, from the bottom of my heart. I remember falling in love with Sad Boy and Lola on TikTok and pounded at the chance to request it! 🐾
