A New New Me

Helen Oyeyemi

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Kinga is a woman who is just trying to make it through the week. To move things along, there's a Kinga for every day: on Mondays, you can catch Kinga A deleting food delivery apps and urging the others to get their stamina up, while Kinga E is happy to spend Fridays soaking, wine-drunk, in the bath until her toes prune. 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 - a man none of them have confessed to knowing - the Kingas have to reckon with the possibility that one of them might be planning to destroy them all.
