Some Scars Grow Fur (*)

Shawna Hayes used to be a promising econ PhD student. Now she’s a catgirl barista with a bad attitude, a popular Substack, and more claws—literal and emotional—than she knows what to do with. Becoming a catgirl wasn’t a cute fantasy; it was the fallout of a toxic relationship. Two years later, she’s surviving one bitter cup at a time. But when Josh Miller, her childhood best friend turned pro football star, walks into her café and recognizes her, everything she’s been avoiding comes crashing back.
