Cats, Chaos, and Condo Board Wars Kindle Edition
An unexpected love-triangle. A dirty condo board election. A 30-something trying to keep her head above water.
Hilary Brandt lives each day as best she can, with her successful event planning career, flamboyant assistant, escape-artist cat, and eccentric roommate there to help her. Still licking her wounds from a botched date with her hot neighbor Neal, all Hilary wants to do is eat her Indian takeout and avoid the criticism of the condo board president—also known as her worst nightmare.
But when Hilary is persuaded to run against the long-standing president in the upcoming elections, orange slips and banned food are the least of her problems. When the competition starts throwing out wild accusations, her workload increases, and two men are vying for her attention, she begins to wonder if she’s in over her head.
Can Hilary fight fire with fire while keeping her professional—and personal—life intact or will the chaos surrounding her send everything crashing down?

But they have faced an unending series of bickering with the Board President, Mrs Glover. I had a mentor once who had been involved with negotiations with armed terrorists in a prior job. He remarked that a condo board, there are the real power hoarders, and frightening, as they live right next door.
This is a crazy humorous and over the top dramatic version of a condo board election, complete with banning foreign foods, planting termites, and spreading rumors of workplace misconduct.
Fun and colorful - a great read with a picture of fruity drinks and friends!

Glover is the perfect antagonist, a little bit Cruella Deville mixed in with Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada. Whenever Hilary and Glover are on the page together, you can feel the drop in temperature! Hilary has tried desperately to get into Glover’s good graces, but Glover has made it her personal mission to make Hilary’s life a living hell, a feud that only escalates when Hilary runs against the evil president. Quite a few fantastic scenes of contention, a build-up into why Glover feels the way she does about Hilary, a shocking discovery.
The romance in Cats presents itself as the typical love triangle, at first, with Hilary in the middle of Warren, a client whom she nicknames “Adonnis” for obvious reasons, and Neal, the man next door she’d had deep feelings for before he ran out on her after what she’d felt had been an amazing date. There are obvious signals and mixed signals, a road map of failed attempts and potential, it kept me guessing on who Hilary is interested in, who she really could see herself with, in the end, and showed me that this is anything but the typical love triangle!
And of course, there’s Eli, Hilary’s right hand man. Her junior event planner. He’s a fashionista character who balances Hilary’s edges out, at times the voice of reason, at times the one who helps her in achieving the voice she so desperately needs and has the courage she doesn’t. While it was more than fun to see the roughness of Hilary vs. Glover, it was sweet to see the closeness of Hilary and Eli, a true confidante.
While Cats is an obvious eventual love story, there is a more subtle lesson, of finding your way as best you can, of finding that voice even in times of fear. Of pushing yourself outside of the proverbial comfort zone, and Nikki LeClair has created an atmosphere that showcases that so well within her characters. It was a fun read, with an important message, a well-deserved five star experience!
I love stories that are written about strong women who aren’t afraid to step up in their careers and kick-ass at everything they do. She may need a bit of convincing from her friends to step up to the plate and battle their condo board president but once she’s in she believes that she can truly make a difference. Hilary’s personality is endearing and I can totally relate to the fact that she not only wants people to like her but that she can’t stand to have people believe false rumors about her. Thus, the informative letters she writes are hilarious and you’ll know what I’m talking about if you go out and read this novel.
One of the important themes of the novel is the idea that things aren’t always how they seem and there’s more to people than what can be seen on the surface. It’s important to take the time to get to know others and you might find logical reasons for seemingly illogical actions of self-preservation. The human mind is complex and it was utterly entertaining getting an inside look at these charismatic characters.
I’m not sure if there will be another to follow and make a series but I sincerely hope there is more to come!
