Bookseller recommendation

“A page-turning story of friendship, true love, secrets, dreams unfulfilled, worlds colliding, and fortuitous twists. I couldn’t put it down! ”
— Katie • Lake Forest Book Store

Bookseller recommendation

“Once the background details are established and the story within a story story starts spooling out – with multiple narrators giving their perspectives on the past – The Three Lives of Cate Kay becomes a propulsively readable roller coaster of a novel. Unshakable, unstoppable ambitions and goals; the price of both fame and anonymity; unrequited love vs mutual attraction; misunderstandings and missed opportunities – these are what make up the heart of this highly entertaining story. ”
— Shirley • Watermark Books

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK!
“This story swept me away with its big dreams, love, and unexpected twists.” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club January ’25 Pick)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets First Lie Wins in this electric, voice-driven debut novel about an elusive bestselling author who decides to finally confess her true identity after years of hiding from her past.

Cate Kay knows how to craft a story. As the creator of a bestselling book trilogy that struck box office gold as a film series, she’s one of the most successful authors of her generation. The thing is, Cate Kay doesn’t really exist. She’s never attended author events or granted any interviews. Her real identity had been a closely guarded secret, until now.

As a young adult, she and her best friend Amanda dreamed of escaping their difficult homes and moving to California to become movie stars. 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.
