About this audiobook
How the cat she never wanted taught her the lessons she never knew she needed.
It was not love at first sight for Jinx and Cynthia. The long-haired, dandruff-ridden creature wasn’t Cynthia’s dream for a new family pet. And Jinx was equally unimpressed with her.
Jinx’s arrival marked a dramatic turning point in Cynthia’s life. Soon after, she endured a devastating loss and battled grief, loneliness, and depression. Throughout the turmoil, Cynthia and Jinx progressed from sparring partners, to reluctant roommates, to friends. When Cynthia finally decided to take her life back, she brought Jinx along for the ride.
Side by side, they weathered all the excitement, disappointment, mishaps, and adventures that come with finding happiness and redefining your life. Through it all, Jinx was an unexpected source of comfort, affection, and valuable life lessons. Because sometimes the thing you most need shows up in the way you least expect.

I adore cats, and this book is such a sweet and charming look at life with a cat and the lessons In life that can bring with it. Quite profound actually and I could really relate to Cynthia Star's journey and the situations she found herself in. I was just rooting for her and mr Jinx right from the very start. Additionally I enjoyed the gentle and nurturing cadence of the narrator, Valerie Cline's voice throughout which somehow made the wise words from the author feel very nurturing and i felt like I was being wrapped up in a warm blanket with a mug of hot cocoa while listening to it. The whole book felt rather comforting to hear spoken aloud and I was only sorry when it came to an end (like all good things must).
