Dancing queen

"In this brutally funny debut novel, the young, award-winning Argentine writer and director Camila Fabbri lays bare the lies a woman tells herself to excuse herself from living. Paulina Almada awakes amnesiac beside a wailing teenage girl in a totaled car. In retrospect, she recounts her descent into an existential crisis that makes this near-death experience her redemption. The bitter cynicism or stark lucidity that veils her fear of abandonment has made her so cruel to her boyfriend, her only friend, and her mother that she risks losing them. After Felipe breaks up with her, Maite takes pity on Paulina and they set out on a road trip. Willed and accidental violence ensues, threatening to irrevocably alter her experience of the everyday. When we finally witness the crash, it's clear that all bonds, and life itself, are meaningful because they are temporary"-- Provided by publisher.
