A Love Catastrophe

Following Make a Wish, this stand-alone from Hunting is the story of internet-famous cat-sitter Kitty and grumpy hockey nerd Miles. Kitty owns and runs her own cat-sitting business, the Kitty Whisperer, and is trying to expand the company. Miles is an analyst for the NHL, and while he tries to prove himself at work, he is also attempting to provide for his mother, who is in the hospital. When he needs a sitter for his mother’s cat, Prince Francis, he calls Kitty. Kitty and Miles start off on the wrong foot, and Kitty doesn’t know how she will deal with Miles while she takes care of Prince Francis. As they get to know each other, however, they find commonalities in their personal lives that bring them closer. While this is a believable love story, it also is a fantastic exploration of grief and how it affects people. The ups and downs of social media also play heavily into the novel, showing the characters as real people.
