Gotta give the girl credit. She has nailed the zeitgeist.
It's got to be something with that generation. My daughter is on the older side of that generation. She pays a therapist to listen to her talk about things that never happened in her childhood that messed her up. We weren't the best parents, and I take responsibility for the good and bad; all of it. Some of the things she says she's getting help for leave me scratching my head, though. They never happened. I know, because I was there.
In other words, she's a novelist.
It reminds me of the case of Rigoberta Menchu, Guatemalan writer who was awarded the Nobel for her writings off her struggles growing up in a time of rebellion in Guatemala, and of the hardships she and her family endured. It was later revealed she made it all up and actually came from a very privileged and pampered upbringing.
