Lukas Gage Isn't Getting Enough Attention. So He's Written a Memoir

Gage was initially reluctant to speak publicly of his private life, but went public about being gay when he became engaged to celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton on "The Drew Barrymore Show"in April, 2023. The pair married weeks later in attention-grabbing style in a Las Vegas ceremony officiated by Kim Kardashian with a serenade by Shania Twain. In November, 2023, Appleton filed for divorce from Gage, citing irreconcilable differences.

The official synopsis adds: "'I Wrote This for Attention' is a riveting, exquisite memoir full of heart that chronicles Lukas's coming of age in the haunting underbelly of San Diego and clawing his way to stardom. Lukas captures the universal anxieties of transitioning from innocence to adulthood, of feeling too much and nothing at all. Sex and death, fame and familial strife, drug abuse and Raya, 'I Wrote This for Attention' is a remarkable achievement of healing, of vaping through therapy sessions, and of having the courage to forgive the family that hurt you and set yourself free."

While there are no released excerpts, those who have read the book have nothing but praise for Gage's candor. Mike White, Emmy winning writer and director of "The White Lotus" writes: "For a self-proclaimed pathological liar, Lukas Gage is brutally honest. And for an exhibitionistic chaos agent with a borderline personality disorder, he is entirely relatable. This insightful memoir will earn your attention with its humor and its heartbreak."

"This book is as unhinged and heartwarming as Lukas is," says actress and author of "From Here to the Great Unknown" Riley Keough; and Molly Shannon, actress and New York Times bestselling author of "Hello, Molly!" adds, "Few books have the power to move me to both laughter and tears, but this one did."
