Why read it?

1 author picked R.I.P. Scoot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Austin is living in a former mop factory when an eyeless street cat adopts him. Then it dies. Then shit gets weird. Sara Flemington’s novel R.I.P. Scoot has a sense of humour so dry it’d snap if you stepped on it. So I don’t recommend that. But I do recommend the book. Very much.
