BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A mischievous dog takes matters into his own paws when his beloved owners split up in this offbeat romantic comedy.
The Man has custody Monday through Friday, The Woman has custody on the weekends. But that’s not enough for Gatz, who will do anything to bring them back together–even if it kills him. And it almost did. Of course he knows chocolate is bad for him, especially two whole pounds of it, but it’s the risk he’s willing to take to get them back together.
Gatz knows that The Man and The Woman are perfect for each other–how can they not see it too? She is an editor and he’s a writer. She’s a social butterfly and he’s as introverted as a guy can get. After the misguided death-by-chocolate attempt, Gatz thinks he still has time. But when New Man–so handsome, so nice, so perfect–enters The Woman’s life, he realizes he’ll need to step up his game. And you know what they say: drastic times call for drastic doggy measures.
A laugh-out-loud romance that will touch your heart and make you want a furry friend of your own.
REVIEW:
2.5 Hearts Ok so I will say I must not like this idea of the story coming from the dogs point of view. I say this because right before reading this book I started to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie with the dog telling the story of it’s family and I had to turn it off. Then bam! I picked up this book to read and I really didn’t want to read it either. I say this because I am reviewing it based on what I didn’t realize I didn’t like when I requested it from NetGalley.
The story is about a dog trying to get his parents back together. Problem is they have joint custody so even though the dog is telling us about his parents lives it is only the life he sees. And while there is a few adorable scenes I just didn’t think the scenes were worth the entire read.
Again that being said I apparently am not a fan of romances (or non-romance with this story) told by the dog. If you are a fan of that type of writing you will enjoy this book very much.
