#BookReview: What Holds Us Together by @sandiwardbooks


Synopsis: From the author of The Astonishing Thing and Something Worth Saving comes a tender, wise, and insightful novel of a family cat, a second chance, and the love that persists through the deepest heartache . . .

They say that cats don't like change. But Luna, an imaginative tabby, understands that sometimes it's necessary. When her owner, Annika, moved back to her small New England hometown six months ago along with her sixteen-year-old twins, Luna knew it was for the best. Ever since Annika's husband, Peter, died suddenly, the family has been floundering. Luna, too, is guilt-ridden, sure she could have done more to save her favorite person. Luna also knows something the others don't know. Peter's spirit is still with them, and Luna believes there is something he needs her help to do . . .

Annika has been struggling to move on. It doesn't help that her son, Donovan, blames her for his father's death. Peter always told Annika that they had the best love story going, yet the fact is that much of their story has been hidden away, even from their children. When Annika's first love, Sam, arrives to plow them out during an intensifying storm, the truth begins to emerge at last. And Luna--watchful and unwavering in her affection--may be her family's best hope of learning how to forgive and to heal . . .

My Review: 
This was such a cute story. I really kind of wished that the entire thing would have been in Luna's POV but alas that wasn't the case. At the start it wasn't as good as I was hoping and I was kind of bored. But once the chapters with Luna came in I was hooked. I loved those parts so much and it made the story have a new kind of flare. I hope to find another story like this all in an animal POV because it makes it freaking cute.







Praise for Sandi Ward's Something Worth Saving
