'A dark comedy of female rage' Catherine Lacey
'Funny and infuriating, shocking, clever, and hugely entertaining' Roddy Doyle
'If you loved My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, don't miss this' Bustle
In a windowless office, a woman explains something from her real, nonwork life - about the frustration and indignity of returning her online shopping - to her colleagues. One wears a topknot. Another checks her pedometer.
Watching them all is Millie. Thirty-years-old and an eternal temp, she says almost nothing, almost all of the time.
But then the possibility of a permanent job arises. Will it bring the new life Millie is envisioning - one involving a gym membership, a book club, and a lot less beer and TV - finally within reach? Or will it reveal just how hollow that vision has become?
'Made me laugh and cry enough times to feel completely reborn' The Paris Review
'A definite work of millennial literature. Wretchedly riveting, with the sick, obsessive pleasure of looking under a bandage at a wound' The New Yorker
'So darkly funny and acutely observed that it feels like a documentary' Andrew McMillan
'Anyone who has ever felt like their life is going nowhere - and to make it worse, going nowhere in an achingly slow manner - will recognize themselves' Nylon
