Contemporary Romance
Blurb:
Hollywood is a temptress, a trickster, a soul-stealing devil. I married an A-list player, knowing I come second place to his craft. But Lucas and I are a golden couple, a modern-day fairy tale.
I’ve never doubted what we built...until the sudden death of Lucas’s best friend has scandal rocking the Hills and shaking the foundation of our relationship.
I chose Lucas as my safe haven...he chose the role of a lifetime.
For the next three months, I’ll share my nights with a stranger, watching as he buries his pain, immersed in his role and living as someone else.
We’ve done this before. I tell myself it’s just another movie, and he’ll return to me.
I should’ve known this time would be different.
To get my husband back, I’ll need the strength of ten men.
As it turns out, I’ll have to go through two.

“There are four questions of value in life…What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same. Only love.”
—Johnny Depp in Don Juan DeMarco
Lord Byron
This story has abundance of love. All consuming, enveloping, embracing love and ultimately overwhelming grief when you lose that kind of love. It shall be cruel to just call it a romance, it's a life lesson about existencial crisis. A guide to marriage and the sacrifices and trust that goes in to keep it working. A key to fighting your demons and conquering them.
There are so many threads running in this one book, it's difficult to focus on any one relationship or one dynamic. My eyes were spoilt for choice as they scanned over so many vibrant colours of human personality.
Kate has, simply put-.....surpassed herself.
She broke my heart in Drive and pathetically managed to stitch it back up after incessant bleeding of my tears, but I have no hesitation in saying, she has brought me to my knees as a reader with Method.
I genuflected ON THE PAGES, trying to lick and suck every word, to drink all of Lucas Walker and Mila's tears. All this while Kate was chopping my knees off.
I finished and was so lifeless with grief and misery, it took me an entire day to collect my thoughts and try to put in words what I was feeling.
I could say this is a love story between an unlikely pairing of a Hollywood super star and a sommelier. So far apart in status and stature, yet they fit together perfectly like hand and glove.
Our courtship is a poor man’s fairy tale and a little cliché but it’s still my favorite. I was the nobody one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors chose. The scrutiny cost me a little sanity, but he was worth it. At times, I’m still an ant beneath a magnifying glass.
Or I can spotlight another story of love between two brothers, Blake west and Lucas.
This too has equal amounts of loyalty & kinship, commitment and camaraderie.
But there's a 4th character at play that ruins everything.
The Method...
We’re living in a land of fiction, and it’s up to me to decipher the truths from the lies.
It's a monster that demands to be let out. Once it tears up the skin and jumps out it starts to take it's own form, develops it's own mind and soon consumes and actor. Cloaks his personality and like a terminator, acts on its own independently.
The story has taken it's heavy toll on me tbh, I was stunned and stupefied at first, which soon turned to disbelief and astonishment.
What appears to be jumping between past, 3 months & present timeline, is actually a jump between reality and illusion which is masterfully crafted by Kate.
It's a factual story about uselessness of your wants which sacrifices your needs at the altar
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
—Jim Carrey
The characters are so true to life and methodically put together, it's like Kate has drawn their growth from her own personal experiences. Which makes this story even more scarier.
How can a person be this close to the edge of the cliff and not leap!!!
The thought process behind conceptualization is scary and I'm forced to imagine what it has done to Kate herself while plotting this story.
I wanted to hug Mila & Lucas, weep for Blake, sob for Amanda and thank Maiwenn.
I'm shaken, I'm unnerved and I have totally lost my bearings after I closed the book.
It was exactly what I’d asked for— risky , consuming, a whirlwind, and still, I was terrified to embrace it. But there’s a fine line between being responsible and being predictable. So I leap.
What a flight
What a performance
What a journey
I'm humbled, starstruck and amazed by your talent Kate.
6 stars for Ant & the Grasshopper
