What a silly, stupid, and pointless book.... And I actually stayed up late reading that drivel because I could not put it down.Seriously, this was a lot of fun! It was very silly and pretty darn pointless, but let's be real... it's a book about this cat who swaps bodies with a lady, both of which who have murderous crazy people after them. What I liked most about this book is that it didn't pretend to be anything more than what it is - just a cute little fun break from reality. There was no trying to explain how it happened or how it could be undone or anything like that. It just was.Silly. Sassy. While I found the character of Sorcha to be a little annoying and a bit whiny but uh, well, she did get turned into a cat. However, Belle made me want to stab my eyes out with a spoon at times. The neediness and stuck-up-ed-ness really got on my nerves. Yeah, she likes tuna. Move on. Having said that, I also really loved the characters. Yes, that leaves me quite confused. They were very much "love to hate" type of characters.The authors writing was fantastic, I didn't feel bored or felt like it went on too long at any given point in the book. I also loved that I didn't see any glaring errors (yes, yes, yes, I know, silly pet peeve).Overall, this was a breath of fresh air. There is absolutely no way I would have picked this book up on my own had the author not contacted me and asked me to review it. In fact, this actually went in my secondary "probably not going to bother reading" pile for reviews. I guess it just goes to show that it's always worth a second look. I simply grabbed this one because I knew it would be light and I could easily put it down. Yeah, not so much. Sucked me in a bit. It still was easy to put down, but it was interesting enough to get me to pick it back up when I sat down to read again.This book is recommended to people that don't take their literature too seriously. It's reading. It should be downright fun sometimes.
