so-soThis book began really great for me and I liked the first couple of stories in the narration. However, towards the middle, the book became cutesy and lost the sharpness and psychological insight of the first half of the book. The narration is outstanding and kept me going, I might not have finished the printed book
so-so3 Stars • We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida, translated by E. Madison Shimoda, centers on the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul in Kyoto, which uniquely uses cats for healing. This book blends magical realism with themes of companionship, showcasing how cats can profoundly affect human lives. ⬇️
pickWe'll Prescribe You A Cat is a cut above some of the other Japanese best-sellers that have found their way onto Anglophone shelves lately, more nuanced and layered. It‘s sweet without being cloying, and insightful without being heavy-handed. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/well-prescribe-you-a-cat-syou-ishida/

Very cute book, which I enjoyed a lot! If you love cats, this one is for you! It‘s sweet, reassuring, a bit weird and just lovely! 5/5 ⭐️
It also helped me finish my goodreads goal early! 💜
Super cute book. Little stories about kitties and their effect on people's mental health :) I loved it! -- This was a very thoughtful book present from my hubby. I was kinda surprised I got a random book present the other day.

This book comes out at the beginning of September. I downloaded a sample and look at the cuteness 😻 of the title page.
