Vision Quest

A love story about a girl, a cat and a boy.

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

My cat BOO does this little paw-up-in-the-air thing when he wants my attention ... so when I saw the book cover with the cute tabby cat doing the same thing, it was a done deal!

Though Wendy is grateful to her recently departed grandmother for all the years of togetherness and all the lessons learned, she never learned to like cats, in fact she hates them. And here she is picking up a box of keepsakes from her grandmother's house ... and apparently she is supposed to take the cat too. NO WAY! Her parents are the cat lovers and they should have this cat.

BUT ... according to her Dad, this generic run of the mill cat can not come anywhere near their pedigree show cats, so Wendy has to deal with it. "Take it to a shelter," he advises.

So off she goes, but the shelter has no room and so the adventure begins.

Parallel with the CAT problem is Wendy's even BIGGER problem. She is going deaf at an early age. No cure. I found her hearing loss challenges to be revealing, and funny in parts ... and could easily relate to her frustration at the demeaning assumptions people make about deaf people.

I'm not going to give anything away other than to say ... the cat has superpowers.

Even if you are just neutral about cats, you will really enjoy this book ... It's a love story about a girl, a cat and a boy, with grandmother looking on from on high.

A hidden gem. This is a heartwarming and unique story. When I saw the cat on the cover reaching out with its paw, I had to take a look. So the cat is cute - but this book turned out to be so much more! The story is about a girl, a young woman Wendy, who has a medical problem she’s trying to deal with, the way her grandmother also had to handle it (a hereditary condition). Throughout the book there are wonderful scenes, vividly set out, and I enjoyed going along with all that happens in the story. I definitely recommend this book. It’s lovely to read and very moving.

An engaging story about sensitivity and hope, and a cat that teaches a girl an important life lesson

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

There’s a lot more going on in this book than one might expect given its modest page count. Wendy—our protagonist—is facing stress and uncertainty as she finds herself unwittingly burdened with caring for a cat she just has no time for. Through all the ups and downs in the end the book is about hope. A delightful read full of optimism in the face of adversity, it’s a welcome respite from the daily grind, regardless of the reader’s age.

Heartfelt storyline 🐱❤️‍🔥

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book was such a precious read; storyline was engaging and the chapters had beautiful, detailed artwork in between which helped with imagery. Reading this reminded me of the beauty and comfort that cats can bring, and how intuitive they are and we may not even realize. Deeply touching story, I highly recommend. 💜🐱

Fun, inspirational young adult story with a strong heroine and a very smart cat.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022

"Sounds Like Love" is the heart-warming story of a young woman overcoming several challenging life changes that occur all at the same time. She’s gradually losing her hearing, but her grandmother had been helping her weather the storm of her emotions about this turn of events when she suddenly passes away. Her grandmother, having lost her hearing as an adult, was instrumental in her granddaughter preparing for the inevitable. Now Wendy had to deal with an unwanted cat?! I could imagine how piled-on Wendy felt.

As expected, Wendy has her moments of despair, self-doubt, and self-pity, but the story never lingers on unproductive emotions. The main character is naturally optimistic and was inspired by her grandmother to live her best life no matter what. I loved the note she finds from her grandmother at just the perfect moment.

There is a budding romance that is ignited by an instant attraction. I was delighted with the twists and turns this particular storyline takes where the past meets the future. This was a fun “fated” meeting and future relationship.

SOUNDS LIKE LOVE is a fun, inspirational, clean underdog story recommended for young adult readers.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an Advanced Review Copy from the author through "Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours."
