Want A Good Summer Read?

Since many of us are still spending most of our time at home these days, how about spending some of it with a new book? I was sent an advanced copy of 'As The Stars Fall' by Steve N Lee. I read it over the weekend and I enjoyed it.
Have you ever thought about how our dogs look at us and the world around them and try to figure out what it all means? They must really wonder at some of the things they see us doing. Mr Lee has obviously given this a good deal of thought for this book. The whole book is written from the perspective of the dog, Kai.

Kai starts life as an abandoned puppy living on the city streets. He learns a lot about human behavior from just trying to survive. He's one of the lucky ones because he's rescued by a little girl and becomes part of a loving family/pack.

Kai's experiences will have you laughing and crying. I especially loved the part where he gets a Christmas present. He tears off the paper wrapping and tosses out the stuff inside and has a great time playing with his new box, even sleeping with it, until it finally disintegrates. It reminds me of my dogs enjoying the paper wrapping more than the gift.

But life doesn't always go the way we hope and that's true for both people and dogs. We all know how deeply a dog can love and this book shows us the deep, never ending love between Kai and his girl, Mia.

As  The Stars Fall is being published today and is available at the following stores:

Let me know how you like it.

I received a copy of As The Stars Fall at no cost in exchange for my honest review.  I have no affiliation with Mr Lee or his publisher.

Thanks for letting me share my story with you, Sue, and for reviewing it. I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing life from a dog's point of view. I hoped readers might recognize elements from their own lives with their four-legged friends, so I'm pleased the "box" fun conjured happy memories for you.
