Her second novel, The New Me, was named a Best Book of the Decade by Vox and a Best Book of the Year by Vanity Fair, Vulture, Chicago Tribune, Mashable, Bustle, and NPR, and the New Yorker called it a ""definitive work of millennial literature."" She was named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists and a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree."
Outrageous and amusing ... reads like rubbernecking or a junk-food binge, compelling a horrified fascination and bleak laughter - Kirkus Wretchedly riveting - New Yorker Butler is an essential contemporary voice - Literary Hub A master of writing about work and its discontents - The Millions The funniest book I've read in a long time, but also one of the most important ones - The Rumpus The feel-bad book of the year ... sublimely awkward and hilarious - Chicago Tribune Few authors capture the acidic angst of downtrodden millennials like Butler - The Huffington Post Never before have a pair of characters made me so sick with hatred and empathy at once. Butler is writing exactly what I want to read.
