1. Why Did I Ever?
The book is a fragmented and darkly humorous narrative that follows the life of a screenwriter in crisis, as she navigates the complexities of her professional and personal life. Through a series of short, diary-like entries, the protagonist grapples with her work on a script, her relationships with her children, and her own mental health. The novel's disjointed structure mirrors the chaos of her thoughts, painting a portrait of a woman trying to piece together her fragmented existence amidst the absurdities and tragedies of everyday life.
