About this listen

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets First Lie Wins in this electric, voice-driven debut novel about an elusive bestselling author who decides to finally confess her true identity after years of hiding from her past.

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.

The Story Was Clever

I enjoyed the storyline and the characters were well defined. I also liked the different voices. The switching back and forth was very hard for me to follow and it got confusing so I had to listen a few times to get it all straight (which was not a bad thing lol). I imagine the print version would have been easier to follow, to a degree. It definitely helped having it read by several people.

Incredible Story!

I honestly don't know why this story is so captivating but it held my attention and was an incredible ride the whole way through. Now I'm going to go listen again so I can capture anything I missed the first time. I hope there are more stories like this in the writers future!

I liked the performances by all the different readers

Quick at end compared to earlier chapters. Feel like some periods were skipped over at end of the novel

Couldn’t wait to listen!

I really enjoyed this book! When I began listening, I was surprised and thoroughly appreciative of the LGBTQiA+ characters in this mainstream novel! I was disappointed when the story was over!

Fantastically relatable,quirky characters

This is one of the most enjoyable books I've listened to in quite some time. I honestly found it by searching for Marin Ireland narration (since she can do no wrong) and found this absolute gem. This book captures the essence of friendship as fine as I've read it.

Different than I expected

Wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first. I thought it was going to be a bit more of a thriller. The beginning is a bit confusing until you understand the characters but I ended up really enjoying it.

Great Premise

I really like the idea of this book. It had some really good story telling, but it was hard to follow at times with so many characters in and out.

The deep friendship they shared

Started out very slow and I almost gave up but I’m glad I stuck with it.
