Summary
Hugo was a dog. He died. Now he's a kitten. As Hugo adjusts to his new body (not just a cat - a baby cat!), his new home (San Francisco), his new outside (Where are the mountains? Where is the lake?), and his sudden urge to sit in every box he sees, he wonders if he'll ever see Cassie or Jerry again.
Back in Lake Tahoe, Cassie and Jerry attempt to come to grips with life without Hugo. Cassie fills the void with "Tadpole Guard" and "Worm Patrol" and ups her protection of Jerry (her human), who is in the midst of a cataclysmic midlife crisis. In addition to his dog dying, Jerry's last two books have been monumental flops, and he's still reeling from his fiancee leaving him for another man. As if these problems aren't enough, his parents (who have become late-stage hippies) are coming to live with him for the entire summer.
And so begins the journey of three souls, intertwined by love, loss, and perhaps something even greater. Told with Nick Pirog's charm and razor sharp wit, The Speed of Souls is at once a hilarious, moving, and transcendent work of storytelling.

An absolute delight
This is a delightful book and Nick is new author to me so I’m really pleased to have discovered him. The story and characters are charming and it’s all so “feel good” - much needed right now! Cassie in particular was beautifully written and narrated…made me fall even more in love with my own adored golden girl, if that’s possible. I loved “I twirl. I twirl. I twirl.” Highly recommended!

The love between the characters. It was so beautiful, I felt like I was there living the book with them.
It wasn’t long enough could’ve done with more chapters but it was fun ha ha.

Lovely story
I have laughed and cried throughout this story, it's completely different from the author's other books, but I am so glad I gave it a go. If you love animals you will love this.
