“I was completely enthralled with Kristen Roupenian’s ‘Cat Person’ story in the New Yorker and couldn’t wait to pick up her collection. Like ‘Cat Person,’ each story pushes boundaries, holding a magnifying glass up to social norms and what our society accepts. The writing is fantastic, and the cadence of each story is strikingly unique. This book will delight fans of Roupenian’s viral story and will start many more conversations in its wake.”

“This collection of twisted stories peels back the layers of the human mind and reveals the often dark, often obsessive qualities kept in the shadows. Each story adds a touch of surrealism to the everyday, from birthday parties to listening to music in the park to the more manipulative forms of relationships.”
