Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "The Three Lives Of Cate Kay" by Kate Fagan. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)
"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 Care had 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."
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this book is because as with most of the books I read these days it was under the LGBTQIA+ tag on Netgalley and looked really interesting. Friends I am so glad that I got to read this ARC. As a queer person this book made me so happy to read, as a disabled person the disability rep within this book made me ecstatic. The way this book was written so that it was a "memoir" in a fictional setting was so interesting and fun to me and it made it so that we got to see so many different perspectives of the story as well as fun little "footnotes" at time which I ran straight to the moment I saw the little asterisk next to a word. Most of the chapters in this book were so short too which meant when I picked it up it was so hard to put down. Every inch of this book made me want a resolution for the main character (heck even for some of the side characters) and just left me wanting more. This book was dramatic in the best ways and made me feel like I was truly there with the characters and listening to them tell me the stories of their lives. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a cute/fun sapphic contemporary to read!
I gave this book a 5/5 star rating on Goodreads!
This book is already out!
