New Jersey native Isabel Klee, who is now the social media star behind @SimonSits, always had the dream to move to New York City, and when she was 20 years old, she moved to Manhattan. Beside a true New York lover, she also loved dogs since she was little, and in New York her first job was being an assistant to a dog photographer. But there was more coming her way, a dream of helping dogs became reality for Isabel when she started to rehabilitating rescue dogs, who later got adopted, at her home. In this memoir, we meet all the dogs she fostered over the years. The dog that became her own dog is Simon. She writes about his hard life before he landed in her care and where he truly blossomed and found his forever home, and how he was a great brother to all the foster dogs. She writes about the health challenges of some of the foster dogs and the difficult moments when the new family of the foster dogs arrive at her door to pick up their new family member.
Beside fostering dogs, Isabel writes about her love life and her friendships. She writes about the heartbreak in her relationships and the relationship with Jacob that first goes out, but later leads to a marriage. This is a memoir about figuring out who you are, while changing the lives of many dogs in need.
This memoir is just a beautiful one. Isabel Klee writes in a beautiful, moving and also fun and entertaining way that keeps you interested as a reader during the whole memoir. I never heard of Isabel Klee before but wow, what an amazing good work does she do for dogs. She truly made the live of so many neglected dogs so much better and gave them their forever home in loving families which was so inspiring and also moving to read. She gives so much love and gets so much love from the dogs in return. Her love and friendship live was also interesting to read and I loved how in the end everything fell into place for her, with the vibrant New York City that is the background and another huge part of this book. I truly enjoyed reading this gem of a memoir and I recommend reading it!
