Christie Tate is an American memoirist, lawyer, and essayist based in Chicago. She gained wide attention with her debut memoir Group (2020), which describes how joining a psychotherapy group transformed her approach to relationships and self-understanding. The book was a New York Times bestseller and a Reese’s Book Club pick.

Her second book, B.F.F.: A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found (2023), turns to the subject of adult friendships and how difficult they can be to maintain. Tate writes with blunt humor about her own mistakes and insecurities, making her a distinctive voice in contemporary memoir. Both books are grounded in her personal experience and her belief that honest conversation, however messy, is worth having.
