Okay, so I really thought this book was weird; considering some of the stuff I’ve read, that’s saying something. I thought the general concept was interesting, but I thought we’d get more information about the main character as a dog. Also, I found it really annoying that most of the characters never get a name. Pairing the lack of namelessness, I feel like we don’t really get to know the characters very much. The graphic animal murder was just disturbing; very little makes me feel genuinely nauseated, but Kitty’s death really got me. Beyond that, the story left neither impressed nor disappointed. I don’t know that I would ever gift a copy of this book to anyone, but at least I checked this one off my TBR 🤷🏼‍♀️
