Plot and Character: The Anatomy of an Antiheroine

Halle Butler’s The New Me (2019) has emerged as a definitive work of "millennial fiction," capturing the dark, claustrophobic reality of modern office life and the exhausting performance of self-improvement. The novel follows Millie, a 30-year-old "eternal temp" in Chicago, as she navigates a soul-crushing job at a high-end furniture showroom while teetering on the edge of a breakdown.
