Other People's Pets
by R.L. Maizes
Other People’s Pets is the kind of story that sinks deep. I started listening and didn’t realize how long it had been until my headphones died and I noticed I was 93% through the book.
This is one that is really tough to review. It’s beautifully written and definitely more of a character study than plot driven. Lala grew up with her father who is officially a locksmith and unofficially a thief. When he gets caught and she needs to pay for his lawyer, Lala drops out of veterinary school. She ends up going to what she learned from him about stealing to get the money.
This book made me feel - I’m left with a lingering sadness but also in a way that I appreciate. I look forward to reading more from the author. Thank you to Celadon and Netgalley for the advance reading copies.
