The inspiration behind Gage’s memoir stemmed from a challenging period in his life when his grandmother was terminally ill.

Described as ‘riveting’ and ‘exquisite’ by his publisher, and endorsed as ‘unhinged and heartwarming’ by actress Riley Keough, the memoir is expected to be a profound exploration of healing and self-discovery. Colleen Hoover, the author, commends Gage’s candid storytelling, labelling the book as a must-read for both avid fans and critics alike.

Acknowledging Gage’s unabashed honesty, Mike White, the Emmy-winning writer and director of ‘The White Lotus,’ praises the actor for his candid portrayal of his life experiences. With a diverse portfolio including appearances in ‘You’ and ‘Fargo,’ as well as roles in feature films like ‘Road House’ and ‘Smile 2,’ Gage’s memoir promises to offer readers an intimate insight into his life both on and off the screen.

In a candid interview, Gage previously expressed the challenges of navigating fame and privacy in the public eye.
