No Judgments by Meg Cabot

*I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.* 

I want to preface this by saying that Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors. I've read (& loved) almost all of her books. I wasn't overly fond of the Heather Wells mysteries, but I read those as well. No Judgments  did not disappoint. The premise of the novel is that our main character, Bree, has moved to a small town in Florida to start her life over. This town is in the path of a hurricane, and Bree has chosen to stay with her cat! instead of leaving him to fend for himself. After the storm passes, Bree, and her "friend" Drew <3 form their own team to check on the animals of the people left behind-- without passing judgment on them for why they left their animals in the first place. 

Bree was a character that I identified with very well. She struggled with not knowing one of her biological parents and how that played a part in her life, losing a parent, and a sexual assault that no one really treated like a sexual assault. That last one isn't explained until further on in the book, and it made me want to cry for her to see how her family members treated it. 

Drew might be my newest "book boyfriend". He was cute, had a house on the beach, loved animals, and had this playful back and forth relationship with Bree that I appreciate in a partner. I loved the relationship between the two of them, and I am glad that they got their HEA. I look forward to reading more in this series.
