Illustrated by
Peter H. Reynolds.
Reynolds's signature light-handed illustrations help bring this tale of fate and friendship to life. A cat ruminates that, if things had been different, it may have never met its forever friend. Advanced vocabulary and a mature sentimentality ("That pull, that tug, that mysterious tether. / Serendipity, perfect timing, all the stars aligning") make this more of a purchase for romantic adults.
