review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I have to admit, I have not read Cleo, this author's first book, but I plan to as soon as I can get a hold of it! I picked this book up at a bookstore and I have to say that both the title and the cover photo grabbed my attention and I ended up buying the book. This is a great story, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, but the message in the book is wonderful. I felt connected to the author and I felt she does an amazing job of painting the scenery in words so that you feel as though you are right there. I highly recommend this book!
review 2: Unlike the first book, Cleo, which was terribly sad, this is uplifting and positive, particularly when you know Jonah is alive and has his own Facebook page. The descriptions of Helen's dia... moregnosis of breast cancer and subsequent surgery were moving, and get the bad news out of the way early on. I was disappointed that it was over 100 pages before Jonah actually appears, and the end doesn't feature much about him either. The American title of this is Cats and Daughters and that's actually more true to what it's about, rather than being all about the cat. I enjoyed the humour too. less
