A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting

“Change is never easy, but without it we can’t move forward.”
― Helena Hunting, A Love Catastrophe

Sometimes you just need to pick a book based on what the cover looks like. My latest read picked that way was A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting. This was such a fun, cute romance with two main characters whose jobs I had never read about in a romance before: a woman with a cat-sitting/cat-training business and a man who works as a data analyst for an NHL team.

Kitty Hart enjoys her job as the Kitty Whisperer. She is internet famous and is considered an expert on anything feline. Her job: she runs a cat-sitting business! Her latest client is proving difficult though. She has fallen face-first into him, plus he doesn’t seem to be a cat person, which is a major problem.

Miles Thorn isn’t great at first impressions. He is dealing with the fallout of his mother’s latest hospital stay. The news he receives from the doctors isn’t good, which means that he needs to figure out what to do with her house and her Sphynx cat named Prince Francis that his mother absolutely adores. Luckily Miles found Kitty on Instagram. The downside is that Miles isn’t a cat lover, and he especially doesn’t like Prince Francis. Miles and Kitty continue to have awkward run-ins, but their awkwardness starts to turn into attraction. The two spend more and more time together. These forced interactions start out business-related, but turn more personal over time, leading the two to wonder where exactly they are going in their lives and what they want out of their futures.

I adored this book. Helena Hunting wrote these characters with beauty and grace, giving them the ability to grow throughout their personal lives and express their emotions without fear. It honestly felt like their relationship was realistic. I also enjoyed that the third act issue wasn’t a break-up and was instead a business/personal related problem. (Third act breakups in romance are not my favorite). Hopefully other books by this author are similar because I’m looking forward to reading more by her!
