Our Divine Mischief by Hanna Howard
4.0

This book is a love letter to dog lovers everywhere.

I went into Our Divine Mischief assuming it was a wholesome little story about a girl, a boy, and a dog. Instead, I got an adventure full of mythology, humor, and love. It reminded me a bit of a lighter version of The Drowned Woods. I really enjoyed the plot, but I think I loved the characters even more. Áila was strong and stubborn; Hew was compassionate and devoted; and Orail was adorable.
You see, the dog gets a POV in this one, and she speaks in poems. Her chapters start as fragmented bursts of feelings but she becomes more eloquent as the story progresses. There is an overarching theme in her chapters as well: an undying love for her owner.
The author said that she was inspired to write this book because her dog of twelve years passed away and I think she captured that perfectly. This book was beautifully written and to be honest I am still crying over it now.
It's a perfect story for dog lovers of all kinds.

Thanks to Netgalley for the free e-ARC.
