Daughter of a literary agent and a poet, Clemi has absorbed bookishness by osmosis. In her mid twenties and casting around for a direction, Clemi accepts what should be a dream job at a literary non profit. The ensuing chaos - her boss has disappeared, the prize winner is demanding upgrades and baby sitting services and the bank accounts have been drained - sees Clemi planning a new career path in the law. The Literati is an entertaining screwball comedy although I found myself anxious for Clemi in all that chaos. Clemi is a likeable lead character- her honesty and persistence make you enjoy being inside her head. Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy.

This is such a fun, zany, heartfelt read!! It’s original and kept my attention throughout. I loved all the underside of the literary life and of course the characters, especially Clemi and Vlad.. Such a humorous book with human truths throughout! I wish it never ended!!

One word is enough to describe the plot of this book: chaos. From the very beginning, the main character, Clemi, is running around trying to simultaneously take care of herself and organize a gala evening without the help of her boss, who disappeared without a trace, leaving only his cat behind.

I didn't like that the book was a bit repetitive and a bit boring, the gala evening was described too much, there was really no need to describe it that much.

I especially liked Immanuel the Cat.

Overall, I give this book 3 stars.

4,5⭐️ What an amazing book I've loved every page and super fast pace.
The story is super interesting and the characters development shows very well what a real relationship and development can someone could suffer.

This book was very funny, but I expected something completely different. I hated River's character so much, it made me sick.

This was such a fun and chaotic (in the best way) read! The ending was exactly what I needed. Couldn’t put it down. I loved getting to know Clemi - and the cat, lol!

This book was so fun and so funny! Clemi was hilarious and such a fun character to follow along with. I laughed out loud many times!

What a treat of a read! I thoroughly enjoyed the extremely relatable, realistic characters and plot points. I adored all the heart and humor!

Once I started this book I found it incredibly difficult to put down. Completely bingeable and utterly compelling!

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I have no idea what I just read, but I do know that I was down for the ride! This book made me laugh out loud, want to hide my face for a month and grow a backbone! I think this book will either be loved or hated by all who read it. There may be no middle ground.

There’s a great new book coming out this fall. The Literati by Susan Coll was such a fun read. Pick it up.

This one was an absolute treat. I laughed. I winced. I highlighted like a maniac. I loved every second of this book.
