Summary

*THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER and Richard & Judy summer book club pick*

Fresh, funny and for anyone who’s ever felt astray, CAT LADY will help you belong – because a woman always lands on her feet.

WHAT IF THE LIFE YOU’RE LIVING . . . ISN’T THE ONE YOU WANT?

Mia has made all the right choices. She’s married, she has the nice house, the good career. But life isn’t about fitting into a box. And there’s another woman inside her who’s just clawing to get out . . .

Tiny humble voice ..."nice"

Too raw from having just finished it in the car on audible on way home from work to review it properly ("I'm on my drive now don't worrrry" in Daisy/Mia voice) but OMG this could be me in the future and parts are me now - Me NOW not Meow!

Totally adored - Couldn't stop listening

Another wonderful book by Dawn and the 1st one I have listened to as I have read all the others. Daisy read this beautiful! What amazing characters and beautiful story. Mya is great and I felt incredibly proud of her. I laughed and cried. Some parts felt like a warm hug and others I felt proud to be a woman. Can't wait for the next one.

A beautifully written book.

A terrific book with so much relatable content.

I listened to Dawns interview with Fearne and couldn’t wait to download this book. That was Monday this week! Could hardly put it down.

Glorious

I couldn't stop listening, everything about this book- as always with Dawn's writing is magnificent. I'm so sad it's finished.

Absolutely heartwarming

I love Dawn O’Porter and I loved this book. You really empathise with the characters and you could feel their emotions. Such a wonderful story which I’m sad has ended.

Great story, brilliantly performed.

Very well written & narrated. Laughed a lot, cried a little. Loved the main character & her quirks.

A nice nod to feminism... and cats of course.

Funny and down to earth with a lot of twists!

Not quite what I expected but it was really good, the way she has made it all come to life with the brief bit accuracy of the story. Really enjoyed it
