The Three Lives of Cate Kay is the epitome of the human experience. It has so much nuance, and is filled with humour, love, loss, and pain.
All the characters jumped off the page, no matter how minor they were. They felt so realistic and flawed, with their own views of the world and their own lives.
This book feels like an ode to hope, and how it's never too late to have hope, no matter the circumstances.
The book also has an incredibly unique format, and is written in such an intriguing way, that I couldn't stop reading. The tone of voice is so profound and sincere, it feels like the author truly wrote from her heart.
I especially loved the disability representation, and Amanda's view on feeling like you're constantly taking from people. As a disabled person, I have never read something so true and hard-hitting as that profound guilt. Truly one of the best characters I've had the honour of reading.
I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough, to any and all readers.
A huge thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
