This was my book of the month pick for January. I'm not sure what exactly I thought this was going to be like but it really surprised me. The book is set up as a faux memoir of mysterious author Cate Kay which includes her recollections, excerpts from the book she wrote, but most interestingly it includes parts written by the other characters in the book. What I like most is sometimes these inclusions directly contradict both Cate's (aka Annie aka Cass) and others sections. You see Cate's footnotes throughout which I thought were really fun, just a little thoughts that made it feel so personal. The character main character felt so fleshed out and tangible which was an interesting contrast to the themes of identity and self discovery. This is outside the genres I gravitate towards and it surprised me in a really nice way.
