"This story swept me away with its big dreams, love, and unexpected twists." --Reese Witherspoon (Reese's Book Club January '25 Pick)

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.

"By writing her memoir, Cate/Cass/Annie attempts to 'throw open the windows' and reveal herself to a ravenous public on her own terms. She acknowledges that her life is 'a mass of bad decisions and selfishness,' but she confesses: 'I want you to love me anyway.' And by the end of this propulsive puzzle of a novel, we do." --Nina LaCour, New York Times Book Review

"Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid will love this propulsive novel…I couldn't put this book down. There are so many threads woven together beautifully to tell a story about friendship, ambition, and love. It is sexy, gripping, heart-breaking, and ultimately, redemptive. I dare you not to read this in one sitting." --Abby Abell, Amazon Editor
