The "sublimely awkward and hilarious" (Chicago Tribune), National
Book Award "5 Under 35"-garnering first novel from the acclaimed
author of The New Me--now in a new edition Twenty-four-year-old
Megan may have her whole life ahead of her, but it already feels
like a dead end, thanks to her dreadful job as a
gastroenterologist's receptionist and her heart-clogging resentment
of the success and happiness of everyone around her. But no one
stokes Megan's bitterness quite like her coworker, Jillian, a
grotesquely optimistic, thirty-five-year-old single mother whose
chirpy positivity obscures her mounting struggles. Megan and
Jillian's lives become increasingly precarious as their faulty
coping mechanisms--denial, self-help books, alcohol, religion,
prescription painkillers, obsessive criticism, alienated
boyfriends, and, in Jillian's case, the misguided purchase of a
dog--send them spiraling toward their downfalls. Wickedly authentic
and brutally funny, Jillian is a subversive portrait of two women
trapped in cycles of self-delusion and self-destruction, each more
like the other than they would care to admit.
