Awesome book.

Really lovely touching story by Gwen Cooper. It has everything...laughs, tears and a terrific read. Bought two more copies for my cat loving daughters. It's so different as it's written from the cats perspective. 5 stars easily

I love any books by Gwen Cooper!!!

In this sequel to Dear Prudence, Cooper weaves the stories of Prudence, a cat, Sarah, her owner, and Laura, Sarah's daughter who inherits the cat. Unable to grieve, Laura and Prudence begin to love each other and to heal.

This is a sweet novel about life from a cat's viewpoint. I fell head over heels in love with Prudence from the start. You don't want to miss this heartfelt novel.

Gwen is a wonderful author. I couldn't put Love Saved the Day down. Her other books are equally wonderful. If you love cats you will enjoy reading Loves Saves the Day.

I love all of the cat stories she has written. Love her books.

Love reading all of Gwen's books. Always cute descriptions of Prudence and all of Homer's friends.

When I read this book, I thought I was reading a cat book. It was. Prudence, the cat, is everything we love about cats. Sweet, sassy, appalled at a humans lack of basic lack of manners, etc. Much of the book is in Prudence's view-point. However, it is so much more than a cat book. It was so much deeper than I thought it would be. I wasn't expecting the emotions it would evoke. Gwen Cooper has a way of building a genuine appreciation for what the characters experienced and felt in their past and present. This is a book I will always recommend and definitely re-read. 5 stars.

A heartwarming story of love as told from a cats perspective, proving cats are more than just “pets”. One of my favorites. I love all of Gwen’s books and have been a big fan since I first found Homers Odyssey her story telling us from the heart and always entertaining and will never disappoint.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023 This is a wonderful story about the loving relationships between a cat and its people. Gwen does a really good job telling the story through the eyes and heart of Prudence. I found it comforting and helpful dealing with my own loss of one of my cats that I had an exceptionally close bond with. Thank you Gwen for giving us this story!

I have the hardcover copy of Love Saves the Day, and it is one of my favorite books of all time! I touched me very deeply. I love that the book is written from the point of view of Prudence the cat. I'm always wondering what my cats are thinking and how they see their life with me. Love Saves the Day made me laugh and cry a lot! I look forward to re-reading the new version! I highly recommend this book!!

I read this as a physical book, still my preferred way of reading. The book opens with Prudence the cat waiting for her person, Sarah, to come home.  She’s been gone longer than usual, and Prudence is a bit put out.  Then Sarah’s daughter, Laura, and Laura’s husband Josh show up and start taking Sarah’s things away.  Prudence is upset by this; and by the fact that Laura and Josh have no idea of proper behavior or the correct way to do things. Prudence is as prim and proper as her name suggests, but she’s also an acute observer of human nature and body language.  She’s especially adept at realizing when someone is saying something not true, though Prudence has distinctions for that:  saying that Prudence has socks on when talking about her white feet is an obvious untruth but humans also say other untrue things, sometimes for no reason Prudence can discern.  The reader quickly realizes that Sarah and Laura had become estranged, but Prudence doesn’t mediate on this puzzle.  That’s not something a cat would do. Instead, she’s trying to deal with the here and now, especially all these changes she doesn’t understand.  Just when she’s starting to become less uncomfortable, other new changes threaten what little stability Prudence knows. While this book sounds as if it’s a romance with a cat, that’s really not it. It’s about the baggage we carry with us from our childhoods and how that can affect our present lives.  It’s about how we relate to those we love, both human and nonhuman, and handling change and loss.  Prudence the cat narrators a good portion of the book, but we also hear from Laura and finally from Sarah herself as each tells a part of the story from her point of view. The result is a poignant, often funny, very charming story. The personalities of the three characters really shine through: Sarah the single mother who worked as a DJ and owned a record shop while trying to raise her rebellious daughter; Laura the button-down attorney who tries to keep everything under control; Josh the music-loving husband trying to get his wife to come to terms with a lot of pent-up emotions; and of course Prudence. I particularly enjoyed Prudence’s point of view, and I liked her practical, no nonsense approach.  A couple of times some of the text verged on the precious, but for the most part Cooper allowed Prudence to be a mature, adult character. Finally, I’d say that while this is indeed a book for cat lovers, it’s also a good story about love, loss and coming to terms with your past. I first read this book several years ago and it has remained one I’ve loved and recommended.

I've been a huge fan of Gwen's since Homer's Odyssey, so when I found this book I knew I was meant to read it. Loves Saves the Day hit at the right moment in my life, I had just lost my Mom and we were taking care of her cockatoo. I felt Pepper was one of the last links to my Mom, as Prudence is Laura's llink to her mother Sarah. I love the relationship between Sarah and Laura as told from Prudence's point of view, and how some things we humans do horrify Prudence. This book is about finding your way, mending broken relationships, and doing it all with a feline by your side. I'm super excited to read the updated version when it's released. If you're a cat lover and fascinated by the human/feline bond, this book is for you! I find myself reading and re-rreading it over and over again. I couldn't put it down the first time I read it. Gwen tells a compelling story and leaves you wanting more.

I didn’t really have a hairball, but this book made me laugh and cry… a lot. Not just sad tears but also tears of relief and tears of joy. I loved reading Prudence’s point of view, which made the book unique and so delightful. She is a sassy girl. The human relationships were very moving, as well. Just an all around lovely book. I can’t wait to read the new Prudence story!!!
