I’m such a sucker when it comes to heartwarming books involving animals (dogs and cats, especially.) In Snowball Unwrapped, the novel isn’t so much about Snowball, the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance facilitated by the wile and crafty cat. Snowball, you see, has a gift no other cat has. The gift of matchmaking.

Snowball Unwrapped was such a feel good book. It’s perfect for the upcoming holidays and is filled with Christmassy vibes. The story is told from a third person’s point of view and it also includes Snowball’s perspective which I loved. Snowball’s personality shines through in this novel. The author has a knack for humanizing the cat character. So much so that I almost envisioned Snowball as another human.

I loved all the other characters in the novel. They were well developed and fleshed out to get a sense of each of their personalities. The only exception would be Ilse whose demanding and obtuse behavior just made her come across as “Miss Diva” throughout the novel. But Ilse does redeem herself at the end, which made for a lovely finale.

The plot follows an opposites attract trope. And the attraction is prodded along by the smart, insistent, and adorable white cat who is a resident of the local inn. It’s a cute story. However, the narrative got somewhat repetitive having the same theatrics of live filming of a show with various Christmas themes.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Snowball Unwrapped and look forward to reading more from the author about Snowball’s adventures. Four solid stars.
