The New Me by Halle Butler

4.0

I loved this angry book on impotent female rage and the nothingness of existence. I feel like I’ve read a spate of books about sad, worried, forgotten women who are full of distain for others and self disgust and I like it! This was like a mixture of Russian Doll, Eleanor Oliphant and Catcher in the Rye with non of the charm or redemption from any of those. Good, realistic existential nightmare of modern alienation! Huzzah!
