This was so adorable! I just loved the pieces written from the sneaky cat's perspective, as he did his level best to make sure his human found her packmate by trying to set her up with the sweet widower down the street ?. Romance stories of the "closed door" variety aren't usually my jam, but this was an overall enjoyable read that more than made up for it.

IuliaC Lovely review and such a beautiful photo! Is this in the Bahamas? 2y
swishandflick @IuliaC Thank you! And yes, this was the Bahamas! The cruise lines little private island, Great Stirrup Cay (I have a personal preference for Norwegian) haha 2y
IuliaC @swishandflick I thought it looked familiar. I've been there with Norwegian about ten years ago 😊 Enjoy! Have a nice vacation! 2y

I brought PLENTY of books with me, but saw this in the ship's library and WHO COULD RESIST THAT COVER?! Particularly when you're missing your own feline bestie (the one and only downside to vacation, haha). So far it's super cute!

Erinreadsthebooks Prior to Covid, I was in a book club with Melinda Metz. Kind, sweet, thoughtful, patient, she has all the great qualities! Glad you‘re enjoying her book. ❤️ 2y
Megabooks Cute!! 😻 2y

swishandflick @Megabooks Right?! I might have to buy myself a copy when I get home so I can have it on my shelf. 2y

#Nanowrimo with my #writingbuddy... When I got up to get more tea, Minerva was curled up beside me. By the time I returned, she had stolen my spot 🙄I was beginning to think I was going to have to set up somewhere else because she would NOT let me move her but she decided she was hungry & left 😂 ...and writing resumes. I‘m still way behind but slow progress is better than none at all! How are you doing, #Wrimos of Litsy?

When you go to the store for a few groceries and come home with this title... Sigh.

So it‘s a love story about a girl (who owns a match-making cat) and a boy. You can‘t take a book too seriously that‘s based on the actual klepto-kitty. It was cute, light, funny and a fun love story. Cat lovers will especially like it, even if some of the things Mac does seems impossible. Just don‘t take it too seriously!
