Halle Butler is a Chicago-based writer. Her first novel, Jillian, was called the ‘feel-bad book of the year’ by the Chicago Tribune. She has co-written screenplays (Crimes Against Humanity; Neighborhood Food Drive), and is currently working on a second novel. ‘The New Me’ is an excerpt from that project.
‘But I feel sure. Making some decisions today, no doubt about that! Not thinking about certain things today, no doubt about that!’
