Tassy’s Reviews > Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter > Status Update

I’m sorry—I have to say it again: the romance in this is woefully underbaked, which is amazing.

Miss girl kisses one guy and then goes on a date with another? Aight… (I’m also waiting for the importance of her annoying black cat to be revealed)

This lady and her stupid cats 🙄🙄 also the progression in this book is wild.

A kiss? Fr? Where was the build up? Where was the tension? Where was the getting to know each other? Where was—just everything?!Despite being over halfway through, this kiss just felt so undeserved and underdeveloped. The author saw how many pages in she was, and was like aight! Kiss tiiiimmmeeee!

Laurent is giving 🚩🚩

Oh hell naw—now she’s admitting she has feelings? (Or beginning to, to quote her verbatim) it’s one thing when you as the reader see that they’re beginning to like the ML, but for the narrator to admit it? Nuh-uh! 😩😩 but like, also? They’ve barely interacted??? I kid you not, halfway through, they’ve only spoken like at least five times! Diabolical! Ten at most and I’m being kind!

Hahhhh… now she’s catching feelings—for whatever reason. She doesn’t even know the man 🫩🫩

Another thing to add to the things I don’t like about this book: older woman, younger man (I had a feeling he was but oh well)

I also hate when a trait is told rather than show. FL has just TOLD us her sister has a way with making people see her reason (not summarise) I read the sister’s whole speech to convince ML to ion know do smth. Like, what about it was convincing???? Mans just folded like a chairrrrrrr

Why is everyone (the two sisters) making things MLs fault. FL clearly knew smth was up with the shop, and yet she took it. That’s on her. But now they wanna be like ‘aFtEr aLl yOu pUT hEr tHroUgh’ puh-lease 🙄🙄 (also when does this book get interesting? I’m struggling here)
