Jillian

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.

Outrageous and amusing ... reads like rubbernecking or a junk-food binge, compelling a horrified fascination and bleak laughter

Wretchedly riveting

Butler is an essential contemporary voice

Butler is an extremely sharp-eyed satirist, and the books are very funny, especially on the deadening banalities of office life

A master of writing about work and its discontents

The funniest book I've read in a long time, but also one of the most important ones

The feel-bad book of the year ... sublimely awkward and hilarious

Few authors capture the acidic angst of downtrodden millennials like Butler
