A New New Me by Helen Oyeyemi

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER

"Equal parts mischievous, moony, and tart...Her prose offers, in a single page, poetic candor, sly wit, dad jokes, and contemporary therapyspeak." ― The New Yorker

"Her weirdest and funniest yet -- in the best way possible." ― Los Angeles Times

"Audacious, incisive and very funny." ― Daily Mail

A masterful story that asks: What if the different sides of your personality had trust issues with each other?


New Day, New You!

Kinga is a woman who is just trying to make it through the week. There's a Kinga for every day: On Mondays, you can catch Kinga-A deleting food delivery apps. By Friday, Kinga-E is happy to spend the days soaking, wine-drunk, in the bath.

Kingas A-G, perhaps unsurprisingly, live a varied life--between them is a professional matchmaker, a scent-crazed perfumer, and a window cleaner, all with varying degrees of apathy, anger, introversion, and bossiness. At least three of them are Team Toxic.

It's an arrangement that's not without its fair share of admin, grudges, and half-truths. But when Kinga-A discovers a man tied up in their apartment, the Kingas have to reckon with the possibility that one of them might be planning to destroy them all.
