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.
