WHEN KATIE MET CASSIDY
From the acclaimed author of The Assistants comes a new gutsy book about the importance of women taking the reins in their own lives.
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 in the West Village. Suffice it to say, she's come a long way from her rural Kentucky upbringing.
But the rug is swept out from under Katie when she's suddenly dumped by her fiancé, leaving her devastated and completely lost. On a whim, she agrees to have a drink with Cassidy Price, a self-assured, 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.
WHEN KATIE MET CASSIDY is a romantic comedy that explores how, while we may have come a long way in terms of gender equality, a woman's capacity for and entitlement to sexual pleasure still remain entirely taboo. This novel tackles the question: Why, when it comes to female sexuality, are so few women figuring out what they want and then going out and getting it?
TIMELY AND RELEVANT SUBJECT MATTER: WHEN KATIE MET CASSIDY challenges the tropes of the stereotypical romantic comedy and showcases female sexuality in a way that not only highlights it, but celebrates it. With the rise of shows like Girls and Broad City, which give women and their desires more value and agency than has often been depicted in the past, it's clear that people want to see women breaking down societal norms and going after what they want.
COMPULSIVELY READABLE: Perri's prose is always quick, hilarious, whip-smart, and on point while it takes on social issues with honesty and freshness.
Camille Perri is the author of The Assistants. She has worked as a books editor for Cosmopolitan and Esquire. She has also been a ghostwriter of young adult novels and a reference librarian.
