She's in an open relationship with her college sweetheart Jay, but nonmonogamy isn't just a hot trend she's trying. It's her sliver of freedom in a world eager to wrestle it from her for being a Black woman going after what she wants with reckless abandon. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile political tensions roil the campus where Cat is slowly earning her creative writing degree, she finds herself drawn to Jay's best friend, Tristan, who's smart, super hot, and...in a monogamous relationship. And then she meets Tristan's girlfriend, Nia, a captivating art student with her own gravitational pull. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFriends and family urge her to just be happy with Jay, but Cat is determined to have it all--or blow up her life trying. As she falls for all the wrong people, racking up lies, betrayals, and terrible drafts of her novel, she tries to write her way to a happy ending. But in art, politics, and love, true liberation may take more than rewriting the old scripts. It may mean inventing something entirely new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/28\/2026 (EAN 9781668204122, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/27\/2026 (EAN 9781668204122, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eBlassingame, Haili\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHaili Blassingame is a producer for the NPR program \n\u003ci\u003e1A\u003c\/i\u003e.
