Cat Bennet, Queen of Nothing

The Bennet Sisters #3

by Mary Strand

With her twin sister in reform school and no longer in the spotlight, it should be Cat Bennet's turn to shine. But when her twin isn’t around, there is no spotlight. Worse, the guy Cat has always liked finds someone new, all of her friends dump her, and Cat’s English teacher thinks Pride and Prejudice is all about Cat’s family. Suddenly, the whole school is either laughing at Cat or ignoring her.

But Cat isn’t the "Kitty" of The Book. Kitty was lame. Cat isn’t lame; she’s just invisible! So how does she become visible? Following in the footsteps of any of her sisters is out of the question. Cat wants her own path, but she’s always followed her twin’s lead. Right now, she’s not sure who she is. The spotlight is out there, right? Maybe it’s time to take a deep breath and leap for it.

About the author

Mary Strand practiced law in a large Minneapolis firm until the day she set aside her pointy-toed shoes (or most of them) and escaped the world of mergers and acquisitions to write novels. The first manuscript she wrote, Cooper’s Folly, a romantic comedy, won RWA’s Golden Heart award and was her debut novel. Her love of Jane Austen prompted her four-book YA series, The Bennet Sisters.

Seemingly Perfect is her third novel in The Pendulum Trilogy of women's fiction novels.

Mary lives on a lake in Minneapolis with her family, too many Converse Chucks, and a stuffed monkey named Philip. When not writing books or songs, she lives for sports, travel, rocking out on guitar, dancing (badly), and ill-advised adventures (including dancing) that offer a high probability of injury to herself and others.

Mary writes YA, romantic comedy, women’s fiction, and children's sports novels. You can find her at www.marystrand.com, follow her on Twitter or Instagram (@Mary_Strand), or “like” her on Facebook (www.facebook.com/marystrandauthor).
