From the publisher:
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets First Lie Wins in this 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.
I read the first 45 pages and just wasn’t feeling it, and the profanity already made it a high, so I DNF-d.
Rapid Rating: High.
Profanity in the first 45 pages (of a total of 294) includes 8 uses of strong language, 1 instance of moderate profanity, 2 uses of mild language, and 3 instances of the name of Deity in vain. Extrapolate and that’s likely a solid 50-plus uses of strong language alone.
