  • Pretend I'm Dead by Jen Beagin Genre: New Adult, Humour Positives: + Mona has a very distinct voice even with third person perspective. + Her life feels messy, real & lived in. + Supporting cast of oddballs. + Frequently funny. Negatives: - Starts strong but loses focus. - Definitely not for the easily offended (warnings for a little bit of everything offensive!). - Something was missing. I never felt really connected or invested in Mona’s fate.

  • 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

    Mini Review | Cat Lady by Dawn O’Porter

    / August 2, 2023

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