The New Me by Halle Butler
4.0

Millie is an overqualified millenial stuck in unfulfilling jobs with no prospect of advancement or security. She is barely hanging on, and not even making the best of her limited situation.

The story itself is nothing special, and the chapters narrated by other characters seem superfluous (with the exception of Millie's direct supervisor, Karen, who is an interesting character). Fortunately, many of the philosophical digressions by the author are very good, and the ending is a brilliant turn.
