Chick Flick by Deryn Warren
The funniest book about heartbreak you will ever read. Sometimes a single sentence can change your life. 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. 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. 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. It's her mental escape when life runs off the rails. 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 . . . handsome new leading men. 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. Soon Sara learns that Woody Allen's line, life is - complicated is more apt. As she is challenged by life, her taste in film becomes more contempory. This look behind the scenes of a Hollywood marriage will make you cringe, laugh out loud and sometimes stop you on the page when you read about those horrible moments we know all too well - the first time you realize it's really over, the jealousy, the gut-crushing pain, and finally, the freedom that comes from knowing you can make it on your own.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
