"Hey. Honestly, I’m just…I don’t know" begins with a text on how reality TV can serve a dual role: distracting us from our own anger while simultaneously reflecting it back at us. The book is structured in three acts, each a different scene from Season 7 of Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’: “Hey.” - a fight at a birthday party, followed by “Honestly, I’m just…” and “I don’t know.” - two scenes where women involved discuss their feelings.
The fast pace of reality TV allows us to laugh at and judge women's expressions of anger, creating a sense of detachment or superiority. By slowing each scene down and requiring readers to engage with the dialogue frame by frame, the book explores the normalization of the impulse to intentionally target each other's insecurities in moments of anger, as well as the underlying emotions, often rooted in childhood, that drive this learned behavior.
