Book 1: Cat's Cafe Review

Review: 

Grab a warm beverage and cuddle up with this adorable installment from the Cat's Cafe Collection. My mental health loves this collection, it is so supportive and positive that is makes me so happy to sit and read the comics. Sometimes a cozy comic is just want you need.

This book is over the top adorable, it follows adorable animals that have lots of love and support for one another and sometimes have bad days but try to push through positively.

The characters are all animals with worries or struggles, or are there for support and friendship. There is even a little Kiwi bird that is often portayed with a knife and it is hilariously fun and he is so angry but helpful. It is a series of shorter comics so it is easy to read in bursts or all at once, with easy stopping points. The strips are bright and bold and the illustrations are simplistic but very sweetly done. The main theme throughout is this sweetness, it is an absolute pleasure to read this series. You may really feel seen somewhere throughout the comics, and that is what makes it so nice and relateable. I highly recommend this installment and the last to anyone that needs some smiles in their day or positivity in their life, or for anyone really. It is just such a wonderful read.
