Editor Reviews

Cat’s poetry is the perfect manifestation of her singular persona。 It’s outrageously funny， bold， unafraid， absurd， unadorned and somehow consistently profound。 I belly-laughed involuntarily throughout， was repeatedly moved， and mostly marveled at her deliciously unique voice。” —Ben Platt
 
“This book is a party & at the party you meet somebody who is hilarious & charming （but also hot & smart！） & the reason you’re together is because you’re both a little sad in a modern way plus the outlet is there & your phones are both at 12 percent。 After reading this I wrote seven million things I’ve always been meaning to but hadn’t yet because I felt I didn’t have permission & that is what these poems gave me: permission to be the freaky little bitch I’ve always been， searching endlessly for something more。” —Melissa Lozada-Oliva， author of Peluda
 
“Does anyone chronicle and lampoon millennial ennui as hilariously， as vulnerably and as bitingly as Cat Cohen？ NFW TBH。 I’m a stan！” —Alan Cumming， author of Not My Father’s Son

Jaemasun ，

The book is super funny！ Catherine is a rising star in the NY comedy scene and this captures her comedy well and I'm glad I was able to grab this on release day。 Its quirks are clever and make you chuckle。 Fun read！

"you're surprised when I tell you I praybut I like the idea of wanting somethingall the wayinto space"There are some really funny and earnest jewels like this one sprinkled throughout the collection， and I enjoyed the read。But。。 I don't know if it's fair to judge a book or author by the intro and blurb， but I really hate when a person who went to Princeton and talks a lot about Paris is described as an "everywoman"。 "you're surprised when I tell you I praybut I like the idea of wanting somethingall the wayinto space"There are some really funny and earnest jewels like this one sprinkled throughout the collection， and I enjoyed the read。But。。 I don't know if it's fair to judge a book or author by the intro and blurb， but I really hate when a person who went to Princeton and talks a lot about Paris is described as an "everywoman"。 。。。more
