From the author of the 'great' (Dolly Alderton), 'terrific' (Zadie Smith) The New Me, comes a subversive, hilarious portrait of two colleagues, each more like the other than they would care to admit. 'Wretchedly riveting' Jia Tolentino, New Yorker 'Butler is an essential contemporary voice' Literary Hub 'A master of writing about work and its discontents' The Millions Megan is only twenty-four but her life feels like a dead end.
