THE NEW ME (Halle Butler) - April 17/20

Chose this one on a whim from the Best Bets section and I really enjoyed it. Butler delivers a fairly vivid portrait of a twentysomething temp worker who just can't get her life together, but it's really not as cheesy as that description makes it sound. It's often quite a bit darker than I expected, and I was almost convinced that the book was going to end with the main character just completely snapping. (Her grip on sanity seems to grow more and more tenuous as the book progresses.) I'm excited to read more of Butler's stuff. ***1/2 out of ****
