very sweet boundary drawing example
So well done, but just too heavy for me at this point in time. I know this is a lot of content warnings, but actually I think the author did a very good job of being gentle with the actually horrific details of her life.

Complicated
The ending is a bit rushed, and the world building only partially done, but the real child-ness of Metty is disarming and lovely, and the characters well-done. I want two spin-off books, about each of her close friends.
On the one hand-- so sweet! great ambiance! Plucky protagonist! magic cats! What's not to love? On the other hand, SO MUCH is left unsaid and unexplained. Whatever happened to her first cat friend? What's the deal with the magic? What's the deal with the bracelet? What's the deal with the connection between the mother and the old man? Why is the kitten alive? What is going on??!! I'm left unsatisfied with so many answers. Still, I gotta appreciate a very villainous villain pair, they were wonderful as villains. And I did still enjoy this read.
