You Chase I Chase is a novelized memoir chronicling Kat Tyler’s experience in 2024—a year marked by emotional manipulation, blurred boundaries, and the slow unraveling that happens when someone keeps changing the rules.
When Kaitie enters a tightly wound social group in New York City, she quickly learns how to adapt. But nothing prepares her for Zee—charming, unpredictable, and deeply skilled at making people feel chosen. What starts as connection becomes confusion, as Zee pulls her in just to pull away again. He never makes promises, but he knows exactly what she wants to hear.
While Kaitie tries to make sense of their dynamic, she’s actively targeted by Valek, a ruthless presence who inserts himself into the tension, working to antagonize her and wedge himself between her and Zee—seemingly for sport. At the same time, she’s quietly undermined by Judas, a trusted confidant who plays both sides. Surrounded by people more interested in protecting the structure than questioning the harm, Kaitie spirals in silence—punished for reacting to what no one else was willing to name.
When the truth becomes impossible to ignore, she must finally reckon with what she mistook for chemistry—and how many people stood by while it happened.
Told through real memories, messages, and reflection, You Chase I Chase is a story about emotional misdirection, the hunger to be seen, and the quiet devastation of being treated like a secret.
