Cat Bennet, Queen of Nothing (The Bennet Sisters,)

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.The Bennet Sisters: taking fate for a wild spin

Mary Strand practiced corporate law in a large Minneapolis law firm for sixteen years until the day she set aside her pointy-toed shoes (or most of them) and escaped the land of mergers and acquisitions to write novels. The first novel she wrote, Cooper's Folly, won Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart award and was her debut novel. Mary lives on a lake in Minneapolis with her husband, two cute kidlets, and a stuffed monkey named Philip. When not writing, she lives for sports, travel, guitar, dancing (badly), fruity cocktails, and ill-advised adventures that offer a high probability of injury to herself and others. She writes YA, romantic comedy, and women's fiction novels.
