Publisher's Summary
Twenty-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, 35-year-old single mother whose chirpy positivity obscures her mounting struggles.
Megan 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 spiralling towards 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.

I want a never-ending Halle Butler audiobook
I listened to this immediately after listening to The New Me. Although quite similar, I actually enjoyed Jillian more than I did The New Me. I love Halle Butler's depressed Mean Girl/hot Daria drawl - it suits both narratives very well and I don't ever want to listen to another voice. I love-hate to relate to these books. Maybe there's hope still for us sad a**holes, but Halle Butler isn't going to find it for us.

New Me is better
This wasn’t Halles best book, rather boring and complainy. Which is guess is the point and i usually like books that are similar but i just feel Jillian wasn’t well written
