‘Sexy, entertaining and subversive’ Curtis Sittenfeld – Best Books of the Summer 2018 (The Guardian)
‘The lesbian romance novel we’ve been waiting for‘ Buzzfeed
When it comes to Cassidy, Katie can’t think straight.
Katie Daniels, a twenty-eight-year-old Kentucky transplant with a strong set of traditional values, has just been dumped by her fiancé when she finds herself seated across a negotiating table from native New Yorker Cassidy Price, a sexy, self-assured woman wearing a man’s suit. At first neither of them knows what to make of the other, but soon their undeniable connection will bring into question everything each of them thought they knew about sex and love.
When Katie Met Cassidy is a romantic comedy about gender and sexuality, and the importance of figuring out who we are in order to go after what we truly want. It’s also a portrait of a high-drama subculture where bar rooms may as well be bedrooms, and loyal friends fill in the spaces absent families leave behind. Katie’s glimpse into this wild yet fiercely tight-knit community begins to alter not only how she sees the larger world, but also where exactly she fits in.

An insanely fun ride that is as hilarious as it is smart
When Katie Met Cassidy is a delicious, fast-paced love story about two women who, at first glance, make an unlikely pair but are destined to make sparks fly. Camille Perri's novel is fun, funny, and super charming. I inhaled this romance!
Wickedly funny
When Katie Met Cassidy is a rom-com. But it's also an important commentary on the taboos of women owning their sexuality
Crucial self-discovery alongside tender romance? This book [has] it in spades
Snarky but tender, charming but never saccharine, When Katie Met Cassidy is a romantic comedy for a new breed of women who can deliver valentines and a mean left hook
A film-ready rom-com about finding love when you least expect it (as deliciously fun as her last novel)
Katie and Cassidy are a joy to behold: two whip-smart women grappling with desire and questioning their deeply held notions of love and intimacy. Perri's book is a real gift - tender, sexy as hell and laugh out loud funny
When Katie Met Cassidy is a fun, fast, sexy read, but it's also so much more- a moving story about love and identity and what it means to truly connect with someone, even if it's the last person you expect
It's part coming-of-age novel, part tantalising glimpse into the New York queer community . . . an enjoyable and moving story that's as much about community and friendship as it is about romantic love
Fun and fulfilling . . . [with] honest conversations about female identity and sexuality included throughout. A romance with a big heart and refreshing perspective
