Well, let’s start with Isabel Klee’s Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About: A Memoir. Klee is @SimonSits on the socials, where she regularly tells stories about rescuing dogs. Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About takes us through the last decade or so of her life in New York City, dealing with—wait for it—rescue dogs, heartbreaking boyfriends, and an adorable puppy named Simon. Simon is, of course, the one who sticks by her throughout all these ups and downs, which is what you’d expect from a devoted puppy pal, but that doesn’t detract from the emotional wholesomeness of her journey.
