Book
A woman has an unexpected outburst at a corporate group therapy session for returning parents. A couple find some long-overdue time to rekindle their relationship and make an ill-advised home movie. A pregnant film director plots her revenge on the actress who betrayed her. An ex-wife deliberately causes conflict at her former husband's wedding. 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things' illuminates the lives of malicious, subversive, and untamed women. Exploring failed sisterhood, dubious parenting and the dark side of modern love, these powerful and funny stories offer a takedown of how society wants women to behave and show what happens when they refuse.
