Review by Jay Mountney

The story is on the surface a simple romance but it takes time to explore stages of grief. Del’s husband Austin died in a car accident and Del finds it hard to get back to any semblance of normal life. He volunteers at a cat café and the plot involves his growing relationship with Lochlan, another volunteer.
Lochlan has his own problems in the form of an ability to communicate with the recently deceased and help them move on into ‘the light’. Del’s friends, a group of drag queens who performed with Austin, are well developed minor characters and add to the interest. The attraction between Del and Lochlan grows slowly and there are problems to surmount but there is a happy ending.
The book is well written and at times it tugs at the heartstrings but there is always hope in the offing. I’m not sure whether I would recommend it to anyone themselves grieving a recent death, but for anyone else, this is an absorbing and ultimately uplifting read.
