Keep Calm Novel On's Reviews > Katerina

NetGalley provided a copy of the ePub in exchange for an honest review.

James Frey’s novel Katerina is unlike any other boy meets girl read. Jay escapes to Paris in 1992 and his life during that time is simply out of control. As Jay’s life spirals, his pain feels raw and real. Twenty-five years later he is living in Los Angeles and has left the past behind until he receives an anonymous message. This bump in the road adds quite a twist in this well-written book. Frey’s writing style and his storytelling immediately draws the reader into Jay’s unfiltered world. The primary characters are well-developed with strong and distinct personalities. Katerina is truly an original read.
