ARC: The Ghost Cat

I was really excited about this one but it was pretty meh.

It says this book is for fans of "Before The Coffee Gets Cold," but I don't think they compare super well other than they both have an air of whimsy and reflection.

I feel like it read more as a textbook. I wanted more cat antics.

Since the cat died in the very beginning, it was hard to invest in him throughout knowing he had a time limit and was now just a ghost.

And the scene with the mythical cat was weird. It got less exciting from there.

I get the point and I appreciate the snapshots of humanity, but it felt too short and serious for what it was trying to do.

That's not to say there's no audience for this. I think people who enjoy history and just a cozy rainy day read might enjoy this. It's definitely a short one to tackle, too.

Stars: 2/5
