A review by aljcehenry
The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan

5.0

my mind is reeling from everything this book was. right there and then from the first few pages, i knew i had to finish this in one sitting or in my case, in one lying in bed session.

the writing was so incredibly sublime, i was like so shocked at how captivating and relatable it was that i got so frustrated. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. the prose was enticing, i ached for it.

the world of annie was so tragic but comforting in a way as i saw myself in her. it didn't take too much for the characters to reel me in the world of theirs—with their passion, their love, their girlhood, their inside jokes, their compassion, their bravery, and their sickness of wanting to eat the world.

i wished i could be a part of their universe.
i wished i could hug each of them.
i wished i could tell them that they are enough.

this book provided a sense of clarity in me. i hold this book dearly in my heart.

(thank you netgalley, atria books, and the author for allowing me to read this in advance in exchange for an honest review that is entirely my own)
