Foxy Lady by Cara MaloneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finished on February 22, 2021
That being said, my biggest issue with this book is the length. It’s not a long read and I wish it were longer. I just wish there were more time to develop the two characters and their relationship. It works at its current length, but it could be better.
I loved the characters. Syd and Addie are neighbors, and they begin interacting when Sonic, Syd’s new pet fennec fox, is brought home. The two of them are likeable, both together and separately. There is some minor angst, but it’s handled quickly. During that time, you understand why each character is willing to do what they are in order to continue to be together. Liam is also a very enjoyable character and it’s impressive to me how much the kid felt like an 8-year-old. Cara Malone did a good job integrating the child character.
It was also nice to get some more information about the other characters in the Fur-Ever Veterinary Series. Jules and Parker from the first book make an appearance but so does Marley, Dani, and Kiran from later books in the series. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Hannah and Avery appear from Malone’s Fixer Upper book.
This book is a pleasant read. If you just want to spend a couple hours curled up with a cute book and likeable characters, go for it. However, you likely won't want a pet fox after reading about Sonic and the trouble he gets into.
Favorite Scene/Quote: "Or a bear pen!"
"I doubt that. I don't think chain-link would hold a bear."
"It'd hold a baby bear."
4.5/5
This is a good story. It’s a sweet story without much angst and it makes for a perfect read if you’re feeling a bit stressed or just want to curl up with something that you know will end happily.
