Wow! The Three Lives of Cate Kay, what an amazing story. Told from multiple POVs, we learn about love, friendship, and the effects of fame on them both. The characters are fascinating, the friendship between Annie and Amanda is quite beautiful. I had the hardest time putting this book down, especially as the characters became more complex. This is the first book I have read by this author, but that will not be for long. I laughed, I cried, I adored this story! Easy 5 stars!

Thank you to Net Galley, Simon and Schuster, and Kate Fagan for the ARC! All opinions above are my own

I've never read anything by this author, but heard she also writes non-fiction. After reading this book, I'd be interested to read her non fiction works and see if I like it. I enjoyed her writing a lot. There was fantastic character development in this book and I loved the multi-POV. It helped add complexity to the story.

I am a huge fan of Kate Fagan's nonfiction books and was so excited to get an advance copy of her first novel. I was pulled into the story from page 1 and could not put it down. It's a multi-layered story about friendship, love, and identity with crisp, fresh writing and a unique, brilliant structure. I found myself bargaining with myself for "just one more chapter" every time I picked it up (which led to me being late for a few things, #worthit). I love complex, flawed female characters; if you do too, this is for you. Suggested for fans of Donna Tartt, Liane Moriarty, Rebecca Makkai, and Gillian Flynn.

A coming of age and love story that examines the search for fame and its effects on relationships. Great character development makes this one you won't want to put down as you eagerly read what each of the key people in Cate's life decide to do next! Told from multiple points of view, the story of Cate Kay will have you engrossed from the beginning. Loved the book club scene and that last line got me!

Thank you to NetGalley for this incredible ARC. I was immersed from the very first page and couldn't stop reading. What unraveled was a story about redemption, friendship, love, and how you truly can go home again. I was enraptured by Cate with a motherf****ng K & found myself wanting more at the end - begging for more of the dichotomy between the her & the women in her life. If there's ever a sequel i'll devour it.

So at the beginning with all the name changes I was confused I must admit as to who was who in the chapters. Once the story got going though it was great. I loved the writing and thoughtfulness behind it. I really enjoyed following along on Cate's "lives" and figuring out who she was meant to be.
