This book was a typical romcom style Christmas book it was pretty good. It was a story about Cara and Ben it was their love story. Cara and her best friend have a cat café that they open together. Cara is a vet and her hope is for the café to have affordable clinic in it as well.

Since then she hay stayed away from the media And so when she meets been outside of her café she instantly doesn’t like him. But when Ben brings her a little kitten and she convinces him to foster it she begins to see the true Ben. Cara had issues with her plumbing and Ben offered to come help. In exchange she was supposed to take his kitten chaos back But due to her lack of space Ben ended up keeping chaos. Ben also has a friend Swarts Who has a slight crush on Kara’s business partner charity. Charity and her family are who supported Cara after the lawsuit with her ex-boyfriend. They are the only family that she has since her grandparents have passed away. Kara and Ben decide to start having a healbound is what they call it where it’s not a rebound but they’re not in a real relationship. Ben has been fighting with his family his brother ended up marrying his fiancé and he doesn’t know how to forgive that. Well Ben and Cara bond they’re able to see their differences and help fix each other. Ben uses his marketing skills to help the cat café to raise money so they don’t have to shut down. And Cara makes Ben realize how much family really means to him. Ben had an idea for them to do 25 days a catmas were every day they did a different kind of giveaway or a gift. They end up doing this and they also use Michelle their other employee to start getting more action on their social media. Then also suggested that they do a big Christmas event and then they get donations from the community. Then he walked around the community to try to get donations to not only for this event and to keep them open but to be able to open up their clinic as well. Caras ‘s ex-boyfriend gets released from prison after only serving two years and he is already with his defense attorney. Cara and been run into them on the street and worthy makes a comment to Ben about his article. Cara becomes upset that Ben had spoke to a news reporter without talking to her even though he had told the reporter to leave and the reporter quoted the one thing he had said. Ben and Charity had work together to come up with an article to be posted that showed the positive of Cara and what she stood for. Cara didn’t like that they went behind her back and instantly became upset with them. Ben wasn’t sure what to do with care upset with him but he did forgive his brother at this point with the phone calls. Ben and Swartz bought tickets to go to Mexico for Christmas after the Christmas party was successful been in Swartz were ready to go to Mexico and Ben realize how much he misses family. Cara realize how much she misses Ben so her and charity bought tickets to go to Mexico but when they got to the airport they found out that Ben was going to Boston instead to see his family. So Cara had to find Ben at the airport and when she did they want to Boston together in Cara got to meet his family. Cara also got to convince Ben’s family to adopt a cat. I forgot to say that before Christmas all of the cats were adopted until they had an empty café for Christmas. And they raise enough funds to not only keep themselves open but to open the clinic as well. And after the article that Ben had posted speaking the good of Cara a lot of people were wanting to send funds and their support. This book was your typical romcom love story of two grumpy people stuck in their ways who decide to give it a chance and bring out the best in each other. I love the aspect of the cats in it and I love the cat café so this was definitely a super cute little Christmas read. There had also been a little old lady in this book who came to visit often and sit with the cats and had a soft spot for the cat named peanut. The one day she brought all her kids and grandchildren in and they all adopted the cat and she finally adopted peanut. She had talked to Cara about carrying a certain authors books inside of her café and at the end of the book she sent Cara a Christmas present that had a book inside of it and told Cara that she had been burn out and not able to write and after coming into this cozy little café she was able to start writing again and so the book was about the café. Cara told Ben she never realized she was inspiring and that made Cara realize how inspiring and uplifting she is for everyone.
