Synopsis

“What if a wheezing, sneezing, allegedly house-trained, ticking time bomb of an orphan pug is the key to helping a family feel at home again, after an arsonist set their house—and life—on fire? If you asked me, I would have said it’s a bad idea; we can do better. Unfortunately no one asked me, and The Pug List is my family’s story.”In the fire’s aftermath of insurance battles royal, rebuilding plans, parenting in the face of life’s hard questions and a scorching case of post-traumatic stress, now is absolutely the worst possible time to adopt a dog. But to Alison’s seven-year-old daughter, Eden, it’s the perfect time—and The Relentless Campaign begins.Until one day Alison peeks inside Eden’s diary—dubbed “The Pug List”—and realizes in one fell swoop that her girl’s heart is on the line, and resistance is futile (“The pugs make me happy FOREVER.”).Enter “Outrageous” Oliver, and the hilarity, healing, and irresistible hope that follows.

Goodreads review by Jen

I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Pug List. What a beautiful story of a wonderful family and their dogs. Now, I might be a little biased because having 3 pugs, I am partial to any story about pugs. However this story was so much more than the story of a pug, it......more

Goodreads review by Amy

I agree with others who’ve said that if you of thought this was going to be a story that focuses on the pug, this may not be the book for you as the dog doesn’t show up until well into the book. I think the title is a bit misleading in that way. Yes, there is a pug, and yes the pug plays an importan......more
