Dear Kate by Elizabeth Lee is a sentimental, inspiring, and uplifting story of love, life, happiness and friendship. This is one of those special and rare stories that can relate to anyone not just romance fans. Life is about living it to the fullest and are you doing that? Am I? And so begins a dramatic and soulful journey of three best friends as they navigate what life has in store for them? To what new chapters they must embark on and what chapters they must put an end to?
Death. It’s a part of life. There is no escaping it and for some, death comes knocking on your door when you are the peak of living life. So when one of Kate Beckett’s best friend, Hope dies at the young age of 32 and leaves behind her two young children and husband, it devastates her, Willa, and Vanessa who were also Hope’s best friends. They knew Hope’s time was coming to an end after her long battle with cancer but it is never easy saying goodbye.
Thirty days from her death, Hope told her friends and husband that they were to open her Living Will & Testament. In this will, she informs her three friends and husband that they all have letters that needs to be opened on the assigned dates. And the first letter/story that readers get a glimpse into is Kate Beckett.
Kate is a litigation lawyer who is working her way to make partner. Her life is consumed with work, work, and more work leaving her little time to relax and enjoy life. And so in Hope’s first letter addressed to Kate, she tells her friend to live a little. Enjoy life because life is too short. Little does Kate know that Hope also mailed a letter to her husband’s old college roommate whom she wants Kate to meet.
Kate and Deacon hit it off immediately. They are both sexually attracted to one another and Deacon has the personality that intrigues Kate. While Kate is living in the fast and rich lane, Deacon left that life behind. He walked away from a high paying job because it didn’t make him happy. It didn’t fulfill his soul and so he does freelance investment works.
The old Kate should be turned off by Deacon’s choice of work and lifestyle but as she reads more letters from Hope, she realizes that Hope was right. Deacon makes her happy. He makes her see that there is more to life than work. But what happens when Kate is given the opportunity to make partner and Deacon is hitting the road, what will Kate chose?
Dear Kate is a beautiful story of life, love and happiness. This book was a perfect summer weekend read as it is a reminder to us all, to not let life pass you by. Find your soul. Find your tribe. Find your happiness. And most importantly, find something that makes you feel alive. With Kate finding her way, the next letter/installment will be of Willa, whom I am so excited for. I can’t wait for Willa’s story because she is someone who I can relate to. So if you are looking for a story that will ignite a fire into you to breathe and start living, then Dear Kate is the book for you.
