Dull. A tale of people whose lives are stuck in a rut discovering a pop-up cafe run by cats who read their astrological charts to fix their lives. Which sounds more interesting than it is.
The writing is leaden, the astrological sections in p rticular an absolute chore - and the people's problems very mundane.
The epilogue is more satisfying - a little poetic framework for the previous chapters to hang on, hinting that this book could perhaps have been more interesting and magical than it ended up being.
Disappointing.
