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 Cate has 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.

reviewed The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan

So much fun I almost missed the 'deepness'

This book can be read lightly. The dialog is funny and the people make interesting choices (of course not always the right ones). There's a love story near the end and it concludes well. I cried several places.

After letting it sit though, I think there's even more. All the characters have a drive that they're trying to figure out. I noticed the theme when reading, but after, it made me think about my own drives and wants and identity. That's what successful stories do.
