This book was like Anastasia's Secret in all the wrong ways. Trapped girl relies on love for guy to get the heck out of whatever horrible situation she's in. The writing was about four-star quality, but consider the ways in which Dunlap's version Anastasia, despite being a brat and too reliant on her boyfriend, is superior to Ella. 
 1. Anastasia is literate. Ella's lack of literacy seems an excuse to make her helpless. It's not like very many of the books her owners would provide her would be of anything controversial. She's already weak enough as is. 
 2. Anastasia has a better sense of values. When she refuses the rescue plan, it's out of her sense of family loyalty, even if she'll never see her boyfriend again, but she has faith that she will. Ella's fear of losing Penn (dumb, un-symbolic name, isn't it) is what makes her want to go back to being trapped. 
 3. Anastasia's situation and background are believable. It doesn't seem at all likely that some wacky congressman would think to allow genetically engineered pets. The terms used related to them freaked me out. "Spayed?" "Kennel?" "Breeder?" The book was about as realistic as this. 
 Like the book, the picture is realistic. The photoshop job is good. As far as we can tell, the guy is actually Ed Sheeran. However, we know how unlikely, or almost impossible, it is that this would actually happen, the same goes for this book. 
 Anastasia's Secret, on the other hand is as realistic as this: 
 Like the events in Anastasia's Secret, the event is possible. I got my cat to do this a few times. However, the escaping-to-the-woods thing, just like getting your cat to walk on a leash, is unlikely. 
 There you go, giant- and regular- cat realism.
