About this book:

Farah Garda believes that she’s incapable of change, stuck in a pattern of self-loathing and destructive tendencies. She leaves Cape Town to care for her ailing mother and stumbles into grief, growth, and green smoothies. Love doesn’t save her—she saves herself.

Told with humour and unflinching honesty, Why Am I Like This? follows Farah on her journey to finding purpose in life, perhaps for the very first time.
