Eva Lesko Natiello, the Author of “The Dog Sitter” has written a PAW-FECT, captivating and intriguing novel. The Genres for this book are : Satire, Humor, and Fiction. In this unusual and witty book, the author vividly describes the scenery, plot and the dramatic and colorful characters. The characters are complex, complicated, flawed, dysfunctional, and cause many shenanigans. One of my favorite characters is “Aldo”, the dog in the story also called “Al”. One of the female protagonists, Colleen Fitzroy, is left with no choices after a recent break-up, eviction, and job loss, to work for her former boss Massimo Locatelli, the editor of Savoy Magazine, to be “THE DOG SITTER” for his beloved dog, Aldo.(for 4 weeks, while Massimo is in Italy) Did I mention that Colleen is not exceptionally fond of dogs, and doesn’t have much experience taking care of them? Aldo is a big lovable dog, with a mind of his own, and Massimo constantly calls and face-times Colleen to see Aldo. Colleen did think that one of the advantages of doing this is she would have a luxurious place to stay, that is nice and quiet. Of course Colleen doesn’t realize that an assortment of characters have a key/s to the apartment.
It seems that Massimo, his relatives and friends seem to have secrets, and he recruits Colleen for some other projects at the same time. Colleen is planing on using this reflective time to what she really wants to do in life. I enjoyed this delicious and witty story and highly recommend this book to others.
