HBO Max has officially acquired the rights to author Camille Perri’s romantic-comedy novel titled When Katie Met Cassidy which is being described as a celebratory queer love story.
“I’m thrilled to be working with 42 and HBO Max to bring this celebratory queer love story to a mainstream audience,” Perri said in a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter).
First published in 2018, When Katie Met Cassidy will follow the story of a successful 28-year-old New York City lawyer named Katie Daniels as she tries to mend a broken heart after her fiancé suddenly dumps her.
When Katie Met Cassidy is a romantic comedy about gender and sexuality, and the importance of figuring out who we are in order to go after what we truly want.
