Autumn at the Cat Café
Via Dalton is the proud owner of a cat café in Pecan Corner. Her neighbor, Earl Brewster, owns Second Chapter Books, and the two of them are close. When Earl passes away, Via expects to inherit the bookstore because Earl had promised it to her. Unfortunately, he forgot to update his will before his death.
Instead, the bookstore goes to his nephew, Leo, a wealthy hedge fund manager from LA. Leo has no intention of keeping the store. He wants to sell it and move on with his life. He didn’t even know Earl very well.
But there’s a catch. The will has a few stipulations, and Leo has to stay in Pecan Corner for 30 days before he can receive his inheritance. Slowly, he starts to grow more fond of the charming little town, and of his neighbor, Via.
Review
It’s September, and the weather literally said it’s time for fall. So, obviously, I got into the fall vibes, and this book was screaming at me. I mean, I love cats, so a book about a cat café? I’m sold. I’m a very simple woman in that sense.
And you can bet that I was immediately romanticizing the small-town vibes and the idea of owning a cat café and a bookstore. This was the perfect book to start the fall season with. It literally has everything I wanted: romance, cats, lots of chemistry, small-town vibes, and fall vibes. It was honestly perfection.
The main characters, Via and Leo, were extremely likable. I loved them together. The chemistry between the two of them was off the charts. Sure, they’ve had terrible relationships in the past, their lives aren’t perfect, and they make mistakes, but who doesn’t? The romance (and the heartbreak) made me feel so many things. I loved it.
And Via’s cat, Sir Meow, is just adorable. He immediately falls in love with Leo, which was absolutely adorable. The other cats also play their part, and it honestly melted my heart. It was so cute.
The story never got boring. There were constantly sparks between the two of them. As you can tell, I fell in love with this book and all of the characters. Via has a fall bucket list, which gave the book the perfect fall vibes for those cloudy and rainy days. And I kind of want to create a fall bucket list now too.
Honestly, there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like about this book. I could keep this review very short and simply tell you that I loved this book. If you’re looking for a cozy and romantic story with cats, this is the one.
