She’s done it again! Halle Butler’s BANAL NIGHTMARE is a bleakly hilarious masterpiece. Each character is so distinctly unlikeable, and yet I could see my sorrows and wounds in (almost) all of them. I laughed out loud, I reflected upon my life past-present-and-future, and I can’t wait to get this book into the hands and hearts of the masses.
