I've been talking to anyone who will listen about a new book by Tanya Guererra called Cat’s People. So I thought I should share the review I wrote for NetGalley with you. Here it is:

This is an adorable book and so good for a feel-good read. Cat (or Gatito, as the mailman calls him; or Itim to the bodega owner) is a stray, and he'd like to stay that way, thank you. But somehow he manages to charm and bring together a handful of people.

Apart from Cat, the other main characters are Nùria, a barista; Omar, a mailman; Collin, a blocked author; Bong, the recently-widowed bodega owner; and Lily, the supermarket checker. Each one needs something that the others can give, and it’s got to be Cat that brings them together.

It sounds a little corny but it really is charming. I'm not particularly a cat person, so I don't think you need to be one to enjoy this book. Its not exactly a romance, but it's not exactly not either. It reminds me a little bit of 84 Charing Cross Road. My recommendation is to get this book and just enjoy it. Feel, don’t think. Smile.
