"[A] definitive work of millennial literature . . . wretchedly
riveting." -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker "Girls + Office Space +
My Year of Rest and Relaxation + anxious sweating = The New Me."
-Entertainment Weekly I'm still trying to make the dream possible:
still might finish my cleaning project, still might sign up for
that yoga class, still might, still might. I step into the shower
and almost faint, an image of taking the day by the throat and
bashing its head against the wall floating in my mind.
Thirty-year-old Millie just can't pull it together. She spends her
days working a thankless temp job and her nights alone in her
apartment, fixating on all the ways she might change her
situation--her job, her attitude, her appearance, her life. Then
she watches TV until she falls asleep, and the cycle begins again.
When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to
bring the better life she's envisioning within reach. But with it
also comes the paralyzing realization, lurking just beneath the
surface, of how hollow that vision has become. "Wretchedly
riveting" (The New Yorker) and "masterfully cringe-inducing"
(Chicago Tribune), The New Me is the must-read new novel by
National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" honoree and Granta Best Young
American novelist Halle Butler. Named a Best Book of the Decade by
Vox, and a Best Book of 2019 by Vanity Fair, Vulture, Chicago
Tribune, Mashable, Bustle, and NPR
