This starts as an entertaining neighbor/relationship drama between three households in a posh enclave of London and soon escalates in a wild and delightfully bonkers way. There is lying, espionage, and possibly a panther on the loose?!

I so enjoyed my time reading this - it is hilarious, mysterious, and totally original.

Thank you very much to Atria and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

Cat Fight by Kit Conway is an absolute blast—think Big Little Lies meets Tiger King, with a dash of Desperate Housewives. From the first page, this book had me hooked. The plot is full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat—just when I thought I had it all figured out, Conway would drop a bombshell that left me speechless.

The characters were definitely the highlight. They’re all so distinct, from the Disney-princess-esque Emma to the punk-pop star Twig, to the unhinged Jane-from-Tarzan aka Coralie King. Former zoologist turned Queen Bee of Sevenoaks, Coralie, quickly seizes on a panther sighting to revive her career. Then there’s Emma, the new neighbor who’s skeptical of the whole big cat situation but is eager to use the hysteria for her own agenda. And Twig, who never expected to return to suburban life, but finds herself back in her childhood home after a major life change. The way their storylines intertwine is fascinating and kept me engaged from start to finish. There’s the perfect blend of drama, humor, and suspense, with a dose of sharp banter that lightens up the intense, “whodunnit” vibe.

The title is so much fun, and the cover art is gorgeous—it’s the whole package. With its gripping narrative and fantastic character dynamics, I can see this book becoming a big hit. I’m so glad I had the chance to read it early. Huge thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced copy!

I just finished a unique book. Cat Fight by Kit Vonwat was a book that I’ll remember for a long time.

I have to start by saying, OMG! "Cat Fight" by Kit Conway is like "Big Little Lies" meets "Tiger King." It is all of that, but it is so much more!

This book exceeded all my expectations. I believe it is a novel worth reading a second time because, just when you think you know what’s going to happen, you'll be proven wrong.

The novel offers an interconnected look at the lives of three suburban families and the hysteria that disrupts their less-than-perfect lives behind closed doors. This hysteria revolves around a big cat that appears to be hiding in their neighborhood. The story also draws comparisons to scapegoats, viral sensations, and contemporary culture, while serving as a metaphor for these suburbanites struggling to fit into situations that go against their nature.

The book is very well-written and expertly plotted—what a debut! I can’t wait to see what else Conway creates. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat, while also being humorous and relatable.

Thanks to Atria and NetGalley for this much-needed entertainment.
