A thirteen year-old Golden Retriever with a taste for adventure (and bacon) Cosmo is a canine on a mission. He’s got to stop a break-up, protect his best friend Max, and bring everyone together again for one show-stopping, marriage-saving, dog-dancing finale. But when it comes to fixing families, it turns out life is more complicated than just learning the right steps. Stories as genuinely joyful as I, Cosmo don’t come along very often and our booksellers were instantly charmed by Carlie Sorosiak’s witty, moving tale of friendship and a family in crisis. A novel full of heart that has all the hallmarks of a modern classic.
