THE NEW ME - HALLE BUTLER KARTONIERT (TB)

"[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.
