| Summary, Etc. |
Katie is far from home, fresh out of college, and desperate to skirt the demands of adult life. It doesn't help that she's no longer speaking to her mother. Or that she owes her roommate and closest friend months of rent money. Luckily, her self-assured, generous boyfriend James seems happy to make decisions for them both. When James takes Katie on vacation to his family's seaside house, he brings Silver, his childhood cat, and Katie discovers a sudden, strange, and giddy connection. Silver doesn't mind that Katie can't seem to get a job, hold her own at dinner parties, or make amends with her mother. Silver, who gets to lie around all day, misbehave spectacularly, act cute, be gross, and still get fed, seems to have the life Katie increasingly longs for. Soon enough, they're inseparable, and something inside Katie begins to crack open . . . or maybe just crack. Because if Katie has learned anything from her mother, it's that devotion comes at a price. As Katie's affection for Silver deepens, her other relationships begin to falter, until she's forced to confront what she really desires from life--and what she might have to risk to get it.
