Told from the POV of Fuuta, who is an adorable cat who has passed away. He becomes a messenger cat at Café Pont, where customers leave requests of who they’d like to meet and the owner Nijiko appoints a cat to arrange the meeting, if it has a lot of sentimental value.

What an absolutely gorgeous read this was! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a cat lady so as soon as I seen this book, I knew I had to read it and I’m so glad that I did!

I loved the cats that we got to meet along Fuuta’s travels and getting to see the different jobs they did and their personalities, but also I loved seeing the little missions that Fuuta would go on to fulfil his meetings. It’s a book that although it is short, really made me think and reflect on things and those are the best kinds of books to me.

I really liked the world building and it was so fun being able to imagine a world where cats who have passed away, can travel between the two realms but have things like jobs and a home like we do.

Thank you Penguin, Harvill and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book early, in exchange for an honest review.

4.5⭐️

This book is so sweet. I loved all the little ways it reminds you to live, to love, and to stop regretting things that you cannot control or change.

Our main character is cheeky and likeable, the plot was fast paced and I enjoyed the whimsical magic. A simple but effective book that sits quietly in your heart.

If you enjoyed The Cat Who Saved Books, If Cats Disappeared From The World and The Goodbye Cat then I think you’ll love this.

Fuuta has passed through to the land of the blue after a happy time living with his family in the land of green.He misses them but can't visit them for many months unless he finds a suitable job to earn his way for a visit back to see his beloved family. He decides to take on the position of messenger cat, if he successfully fulfils his missions he can go back to visit his special person, Michiru. He visits Café Pont and takes on the position which involves helping customers wishes to see a special person who they can no longer visit usually as they have passed on to the blue. Fuuta takes on the position and we follow him as he strives to succeed in his missions. I really loved this gentle and unusual story.

What a delightful book!

Fuuta has passed in the after life, and becomes a messenger and needs to complete five tasks to be able to see his owner. He works at the Cadé Pont, which connects the land of the living (green world) to the after life world (the blue one).
People make wishes to see people they have lost, and are no longer in their life. The cat messenger will find the lost one and deliver their message.

This book is so heartwarming.

Beautiful read, really enjoyed this over the Christmas holidays.
Loved it.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.
