Megan, recently out of college and working a meaningless job as a gastroenterologist's secretary, openly hates all of her friends for being happy and successful. She makes herself feel better by obsessively critiquing the behavior of her coworker, Jillian, a rapid cycling, grotesque optimist, whose downfall is precipitated by the purchase of a dog.

Halle Butler lives in Chicago. Jillian is her first book.
"Butler's aim is perfect, and her touch deft." - Publishers Weekly
"A novel that reads like rubbernecking or a junk-food binge, compelling a horrified fascination and bleak laughter in the face of outrageously painted everyday sadness." - Kirkus Reviews
"Sublimely awkward and hilarious...It may be the feel-bad book of the year." - Chicago Tribune
"It's a frank depiction of modern indecency, and a reflection of a generation that lacks any shred of a moral compass." - Electric Literature
