Member Reviews

When his mother is hospitalized, Miles Thorn needs to hire someone to help look after her mischievous cat. Kitty Hart, “Kitty Whisper”, is not at all what Miles expected. In spite of their awkward first meeting, the pair form a friendship and realize they have much more in common than they originally thought.

A Love Catastrophe is an open door romcom with just the right amount of humor to balance out the spice. While Miles does work for a hockey team I would not consider this a sports romance. This is no slowburn! Kitty and Miles have chemistry from the very beginning and it only grows throughout the book.

I appreciate the thoughtful way the author shows the many sides of grief. Mrs. Thorn’s condition is also shown in a realistic light.

While this is currently a standalone, there are numerous side characters worthy of their own stories. The epilogue seems to hint at more to come. Whether it’s more of these familiar faces or not, I look forward to reading whatever Helena Hunting writes next.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing)!

This book was a cute story about how Kitty and Miles connect over a cat and their shared family struggles. The tone of the book was sadder than I expected, but I appreciated the thought that the author put into grief and the challenges that come with change.

I was a bit shocked that there were still Harry Potter references. Most new releases exclude those.
