Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Graphic for providing this electronic advanced copy for review!

I have been a fan of Lucy Knisley’s comics for a while since I discovered them on twitter years ago. I distinctly remember when Linney passed away back in 2019 because one of our family cats passed away shortly after. Now years later, I am reading Linney’s book the month after my cat, Markie, has passed away - also so old and full of such woe. This book really touched me as a cat owner. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and so much reminded me of my wonderful boy who I miss so much.

It was a tough but cathartic read after my own loss. I kept turning to my fiancé to show him comics that reminded me of Markie and his silliness. He was so like Linney. An absolutely wonderful book that touched my heart. Highly recommended.

If you want to know a cats opinion through a graphic novel, then this one is for you! The illustrations are so cute, you want to just squeeze the cat. You can commiserate with with other cat lovers and how they act.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of Woe: A Housecat’s Story of Despair.

This is everything we all love from Lucy Knisley. It’s cute, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming all at once. And have no fear, you do not have to be a cat lover to enjoy.
