Description: ❝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.

When Katie Met Cassidy is a romantic comedy that explores how, as a culture, while we may have come a long way in terms of gender equality, a woman’s capacity for an 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 doing it?❞

MY RATING: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

REVIEW

This is a quick and enjoyable love story.

Katie Daniels is a successful lawyer who gets dumped by her fiancee and is having a difficult time overcoming the end of her relationship. Soon after, she meets Cassidy in a business meeting. That same day after work hours, Cassidy bumps into Katie at a wine bar and asks her out for a drink. Katie accepts unenthusiastically but soon the views and feelings will change for both.

The book is short and entertaining, it was funny too and the characters were likable. When Katie Met Cassidy is narrated from alternating points of view and takes place in NYC which is one of my favorite settings for books. I liked the story but felt it was a bit breezy, not much depth but perfect for a summer read.

Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers of romance and contemporary fiction.
