Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats by Courtney Gustafson

4.0

---

It would be hard for anyone to write a book about cats and cat rescue that I didn't love and Poets Square did not disappoint. I, like many others, follow Courtney's Instagram and was so excited when I found out that she was writing a book, and I inhaled it. I loved learning about how the bats came to be in her life - imagine moving into a house and finding 30 cats life in the yard?! I did find some of the stories about cats that didn't make it quite upsetting, but I'm aware this is the reality of rescue. Her stories of human connection were beautiful and heartbreaking - I adored reading about how helping cats allowed her to meet and help so many people who were going through difficult times. Overall an excellent book and would recommend to anyone who loves cats and is passionate about animal rescue. Thank you to the publisher for this ARC.
