“Have you ever felt like you were living more than one life? That’s exactly what Cate Kay is grappling with in our January pick, The Three Lives of Cate Kay by @KateFagan3,” Witherspoon wrote on Instagram.
The novel follows successful best-selling author Cate Kay as keeps her identity a secret to the world – until now.
“She’s a literary sensation, the face behind a blockbuster film trilogy, but her life isn’t what it seems,” Witherspoon teases. “This story swept me away with its big dreams, love, and unexpected twists.”
‘The Three Lives of Cate Kay’ by Kate Fagan
“As a young adult, Cate and her best friend Amanda dreamed of escaping their difficult homes and moving to California to become movie stars,” the book’s official description reads, giving us some backstory. “But the day before their grand adventure, a tragedy shattered their dreams and Cate has been on the run ever since, taking on different names and charting a new future.”
“But after a shocking revelation, Cate understands that returning home is the only way she’ll be a whole person again,” the description ends.
While the book still has no reviews on Amazon, it’s already gotten a 4.1 score on Goodreads. “It’s a uniquely written story, and once I got into the rhythm, I was invested and engaged throughout,” wrote one reviewer on the platform. “I thought the narrative flowed well and the characters were well developed and three-dimensional.”
“There are multiple POVs that allow for a deeper view into the mindset of our characters while still being told in a ‘memoir’ by Cate Kay herself,” another reviewer chimed in. “It was an interesting twist to the storytelling while not being too meta and my favorite part was her use of footnotes that I would be skipping ahead to read every time they popped up.”
