Spoiler-free discussion of our February 2019 book When Katie Met Cassidy by Camille Perri.

Katie Daniels is a perfection-seeking 28-year-old lawyer living the New York dream. She’s engaged to charming art curator Paul Michael, has successfully made her way up the ladder at a multinational law firm and has a hold on apartments in Soho and the West Village. Suffice it to say, she has come a long way from her Kentucky upbringing.

But the rug is swept from under Katie when she is suddenly dumped by her fiance, Paul Michael, leaving her devastated and completely lost. On a whim, she agrees to have a drink with Cassidy Price-a self-assured, sexually promiscuous woman she meets at work. The two form a newfound friendship, which soon brings into question everything Katie thought she knew about sex—and love.

This is a typical rom-com book, or so I assume having not read anything else from that genre. I admit I only read this one because of the f/f relationship representation. I'm happy to see lgbt couples featured in all genres and I admit I was rooting for these too. While some of the writing was cringey (the predatory lesbian trope needs to die tbh) overall, it was a nice, light read.
