Backstage: A Novel of Secret Agendas, Slow Burn Romance, and Imaginary Cats by Joan Wendland

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Disclaimer land again: I have a bias. Know this up front. I didn’t get the book for free or anything like that, but there is a personal connection here. The author herself and I had a chat at a convention and she pointed me at this one. Go, buy it. Check it out and see what you think, but most importantly, make sure the author gets paid.

On to the work itself. I actively struggled with the title. After having attempted to just search it up under “backstage” I understand why there’s a need for differentiation. Personally I would have cut it down to Backstage: Imaginary Cats or some significantly shorter name.

Then I started reading. This book put me very much in the mindset of ‘The Adjustment Bureau’. The main difference is the main character is working for the bureau rather than against it. IF you enjoyed the idea of people toying with the way the world functions you’ll probably get into this one.

The invisible cat thing is actually a great call back in the story. I hope that part carries on.

Go, check out this author’s work!
