Three Lives of Cate Kay - Target Exclusive Edition - by Kate Fagan (Hardcover)

Who is Cate Kay? Her memoir is also a confession.

Cate Kay knows how to craft a story. As the creator of The Very Last trilogy, she’s one of the most successful authors of her generation. Her books have sold millions of copies and the film adaptations have struck box office gold. 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.

After years of hiding, Cate is ready to tell the world her story about how a split-second decision she made as a young adult changed the course of her life. She and her best friend, Amanda, dreamed of moving to California to become movie stars and escape their difficult home lives. But the day before their grand adventure, a tragedy shattered their dreams and Cate’s reality. 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. That she’ll be Anne Marie Callahan again.

With the mystery and emotional heft of THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO meets the twisty and propulsive storytelling of FIRST LIE WINS, THE THREE LIVES OF CATE KAY is a fresh, unputdownable debut that explores the cost of ambition, the longings of sapphic love, and how it’s never too late to go home.
