Each chapter is named after one of the old films from the 40's and 50's - the ones where the villains are punished and everyone lives happily ever after. But soon her awkward, awful and often hilarious attempts to patch up the marriage make her real life feel something like a movie - one with a private detective, cold revenge, and eventually. It's her mental escape when life runs off the rails. The vel becomes a script with Sara its star - an action hero drop kicking the other woman, or crawling across a table at a dinner party to slash her husband's cheek. Sara is a film director (when she can get the work), and when her life becomes overwhelming, she slips into a cinematic world in her head. Or, in the case of Sara, a mother of four getting ready for a dinner party she's hosting for her husband's boss, the almost offhand admission from her husband that he's having an affair. There's been an accident.We need to talk. Sometimes a single sentence can change your life. The funniest book about heartbreak you will ever read.
