A review by corinnekeener
The New Me by Halle Butler

3.0

Listening to this book was like letting a panic attack boil on the back burner and I hated it. There’s a mirror in there and I didn’t want to be looking into it. The comparisons to Moshfegh (My Year of Rest and Relaxation) are sort of on par, but this felt utterly hopeless, not darkly humorous. Just shittily mean. I’m sort of disappointed, but also probably having an existential crisis, so!
