The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan

4.0

This is a really entertaining, multi-faceted read that I enjoyed. This book is complex and fascinating. I loved how when you sit and think and just marinate in what you’ve read, your mind comes up with deeper meaning. I love books that do that! I’m still trying to peg the deeper meaning of this book, really narrow it down. I think that it boils down to connectiveness and accepting yourself. I struggle when books are compared to other books, especially so when I loved the book they are being compared to, Evelyn Hugo in this case. In most cases I get upset because the books are nothing alike, but that is not what happened here. This book had the same vibes as Evelyn. Yes, it’s about the vibes. Ah and the writing is just fantastic. Getting this story told via multiple points of view only added to the layered complexion that I came to adore. This book kept me guessing in so many ways and I never really felt like I had a good handle on what was happening. It was wild, and loose, but I went with it and it worked!

This one is a lot of fun. It’s predictable at times, but I was so caught up in the book that I didn’t care at all.
