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 novel 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. "There's been an accident." "We need to talk." 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. Sometimes a single sentence can change your life. The funniest book about heartbreak you will ever read.
