      • 1 Star/Did Not Finish1 Star reads and books I didn’t finish. I use this for books I couldn’t finish. If I finished a book, it meant it was passable at least so deserves an extra star! It is very rare that I need to do this, I’m good at knowing my own taste. Usually if  a book got this rating I’d made a miscalculation when I picked it up! I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 2 Stars2 out of 5 star  book reviews. I finished the book but it felt like a struggle, and I probably ended up skim reading a lot of it just to get though the thing. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 3 Stars3 out of 5 star book reviews. These are middle-of-the-road books. Nothing that got me excited, but they were fine and I probably had a good time reading most of it. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 4 Stars4 out of 5 star book reviews. I had a good time reading it, I felt like I got something out of the experience and I’d recommend it to other people. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 5 Stars5 out of 5 star book reviews. I got super excited about it! I’ll buy a hard copy for my library, and I’ll likely read it again. Sometimes for these books, I’ll write up a longer review with analysis. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.

Mini Review Cat Lady By Dawn O'Porter Genre: Humour, Womens Fiction Positives: + The special bonds people have with their pets and the deep grief they feel when they die is very moving. + Well paced + Fun cast of characters that have depth. Negatives: - Tonally a bit odd, wackiness amid emotional trauma. - Mia is quite difficult to warm to. - The ending is very sweet but a bit too unrealistic for me! thewallflowerdigest.co.uk

Cat Lady by Dawn O’Porter

Posted in3 Stars, Book ReviewsAugust 2, 2023
Entertaining as an audiobook and it has some emotional punches, but my take away was "well, that was odd." 🐱 - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
