debut novel
While god is sending her signs through Instagram and Spotify demanding she break up with her girlfriend, Norma meets with a new therapist for one reason: she really needs to write again...
Suffering from Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder and stuck in her own experimental narrative, Norma challenges all we've been taught about the distance between fiction and reality, sanity and insanity, mental illness and healing.
