DEAR ANNIE, I HATE YOU

You're one of the lucky ones. Most people don't catch an Annie until it's too late.

At twenty, Sam's life is all forward motion-until the arrival of an unexpected companion changes everything. What begins as a normal day unravels into something stranger, darker, and impossible to ignore. Years later, Sam reconstructs the story: rewiring memories, retracing her past, and trying to find the place where everything fell apart. But Annie, her unwelcome counterpart, has another plan in mind.

Dear Annie, I Hate You
is a bold, darkly funny exploration of memory, survival, and the slow, imperfect return to oneself-told through the messy process of reconstructing a life interrupted.
