The Three Lives of Cate Kay is a novel about a young woman that witnesses an event so traumatic that she flees her small town, best friend and her mother to start a new life under a different name.
Anne Marie couldn’t face what happened to her best friend Amanda so she left town without saying goodbye to anyone and eventually evolved into best-selling author Cate Kay. Everyone wants to know the real woman behind the pseudonym including actress Ryan Channing who is starring in the movie adaptation of Cate Kay’s famous novel, The Very Last. By revealing herself to Ryan Anne Marie opens up to someone for the first time since Amanda.
The Three Lives of Kate Cay is told through different points of view of the people inside Anne Marie’s orbit plus includes pages from her novel. It has a great backstories for each of the characters with some beautiful lines that I found myself highlighting. It’s really a story about chasing dreams, finding love and forgiving yourself and others for the past.
