Each woman came on \u003ci\u003eThe Catch\u003c\/i\u003e for her own reasons―brand sponsorships, followers, and, yes, even love―and they’ve all got their eyes steadfastly trained on their respective prizes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnter Patricia, a temperamental and woefully misunderstood local living alone in the dark, verdant woods, and desperate for connection. Through twists as unexpected as they are wildly entertaining, the self-absorbed cast and jaded crew each make her acquaintance atop the island’s tallest and most desolate peak, finding themselves at the center of an action-packed thriller that is far from scripted―and only a few will make the final cut. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA whirlwind romp careening toward a last-girl-standing conclusion, and a scathing indictment of contemporary American media culture, \u003ci\u003ePatricia Wants to Cuddle\u003c\/i\u003e is also a love story: between star-crossed lesbians who rise above their intolerant town, a deeply ambivalent woman and her budding self-actualization, and a group of misfit islanders forging community against all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamantha Allen\u003c\/b\u003e is a GLAAD Award-winning journalist and the author of \u003ci\u003eReal Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a Lambda Literary Award finalist and won the Decatur Book Festival’s Judy Turner Award in 2019.
