When Katie Met Cassidy

Do lesbians deserve fluffy romcom novels? Yes! Does this one suck? Also yes. 
I was disappointed in the emotional depth taking a good two thirds of the book to appear. I can't say I liked Katie or Cassidy - I think I actually liked the background characters better. They were both so flat and obviously serving the purpose of their archetype. There weren't surprises or complexities or reasons to root for them. 
I think this would be an amazing movie, and that's part of its failing as a book. I can imagine two great actresses giving an emotional life to their parts, and making grating events of the story something funny or sad or meaningful at all. But on its own, I'm just disappointed. 
I would still recommend this, honestly! It is what it is: something fun and light to enjoy without thinking too hard. Unfortunately, thinking too hard is my life's work. I hope someone else can pick this up and love it.
