Book Group: The Three Lives of Cate Kay

I stumbled across this one to earn a Goodreads bookmark in early 2026 😅 I was pleasantly surprised with the interwoven storylines, the complex and flawed characters, and the full cast audio production (including a cameo by my favorite narrator, Daniel Henning). I'm excited to re-read The Three Lives of Cate Kay and discuss it with the group!

"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."
