{"product_id":"halle-butler-jillian","title":"Halle Butler: Jillian","description":"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.\n \nTwenty-four-year-old Megan may have her whole life ahead of her, but it already feels like a dead end, thanks to her dreadful job as a gastroenterologist's receptionist and her heart-clogging resentment of the success and happiness of everyone around her. But no one stokes Megan's bitterness quite like her coworker, Jillian, a grotesquely optimistic, thirty-five-year-old single mother whose chirpy positivity obscures her mounting struggles.\n\nMegan and Jillian's lives become increasingly precarious as their faulty coping mechanisms--denial, self-help books, alcohol, religion, prescription painkillers, obsessive criticism, alienated boyfriends, and, in Jillian's case, the misguided purchase of a dog--send them spiraling toward their downfalls. Wickedly authentic and brutally funny, Jillian is a subversive portrait of two women trapped in cycles of self-delusion and self-destruction, each more like the other than they would care to admit.","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54368434979132,"sku":"ju2riw7o25ddxuolh44kqica","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3468\/5756\/files\/9781474617574-1.jpg?v=1788999743","url":"https:\/\/knizhka.us\/products\/halle-butler-jillian","provider":"Книжка US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
