Megan may have her whole life ahead of her, but it already feels like a dead end, thanks to her dreadful job as a 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... From a Granta Best Young American Novelist.
