Addictive.  Enthralling.  Utterly FUN.  Y’all.... the way I LOVED this book!  

Some of my besties told me that I would be immediately captivated, and they were right. 

But what they didn’t tell me was that this read would become my ENTIRE personality.  That I would be absolutely OBSESSED with Cate, and that I’d be completely distraught when the book came to an end.  

The elusive Cate Kay is a bestselling author—one of the most successful of her generation.  Only that’s not her real name.  Throughout all her literary achievements, she managed to maintain her anonymity...hiding a multitude of secrets.  But now she’s ready to tell her story—the good and the ugly—with a little help from those in her circle.  And what a story it is! 

Written in memoir-esque fashion, this story excelled in its clever structure and engaging premise.  The plot was fast paced and intricately layered with secrets galore.  The characters were multifaceted and richly drawn, and the relationships were beautifully complex. 

But it was Cate that truly dazzled.  Every aspect of her life was sharply observed, and I found myself mesmerized.  I appreciated her struggles and sometime shook my head at her choices.  But mostly, I rooted for her.

Given that her story is both an exploration of self and connection, it seemed fitting that Cate felt like an old friend by the time the book concluded.  

This was a refreshing tale full of quirks and ripe with love.  I couldn’t have enjoyed it more, and I can’t wait to see what Fagan writes next.  

🎧 This full cast audio will be one of my FAVORITES of the year!  With multiple narrators, I was fully immersed into the unfolding story, told by Cate and her close-knit circle.  It breathed life into Cate and made her feel as though she was a real person.  

Many thanks to my friends at @atriabooks and @simon.audio for the #free gifted copies of this book.
