A book about a person who talks to their pet? This should be right up my alley. However, that is really the only thing that happens in this book and I'm not even sure the cat is listening to Maggie and it might be contemplating trying to drown her during her nightly bath. Maggie spends the book telling her cat about the other cats she takes care of for her job and whining about her sister's upcoming wedding. Maggie doesn't like anything, talks about being overweight, talks about food ("-Yum!" every single time), but at the same time does nothing about being overweight. Now normally this would lead to some introspection during the course of the book and a change being made by the end. Maggie finds out she is a lesbian, Maggie goes on a diet and loses some weight, Maggie decides she is happy with her current weight and quits complaining about it, Maggie gets a boyfriend, Maggie does anything. But no, Maggie does nothing. Other than her sister being someone's wife at the end of the book, nothing has changed. I don't get it.
