  This book won't fix you, but imagine how cool you'll look carrying it around . . . 
   
  Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been . . . mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she's one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word "bespoke," and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?). 
   
  With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures―like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic―and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites listeners into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility. 
   
  Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It's a book that says "I see you" and also "Don't look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird."

  The Adulterants

  For fans of Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, and Mark Haddon, The Adulterants is a piercingly funny—and cringingly poignant—take on how hard it is to grow up and how hard it is when you don't. 
   
    
   
  Ray Morris is a tech journalist with a forgettable face, a tiresome manner, a small but dedicated group of friends, and a wife, Garthene, who is pregnant. He is a man who has never been punched above the neck. He has never committed adultery with his actual body. He has never been caught up in a riot, nor arrested, nor tagged by the state, nor become an international hate-figure. Not until the summer of 2011, when discontent is rising on the streets and within his marriage. Ray has noticed none of this. Not yet. 
   
   
   
  The Adulterants would be a coming-of-age story if its protagonist could only forget that he is thirty-three years old. Throughout a series of escalating catastrophes, our deadpan antihero keeps up a merciless mental commentary on the foibles and failings of those around him, and the vicissitudes of modern urban life: internet trolls, buy-to-let landlords, open marriages, and the threat posed by more sensitive men. But the wonder of The Adulterants is how we feel ourselves rooting for Ray even as we acknowledge that he deserves everything he gets.

  "A RIGHT PROPER LITTLE FAIRY TALE, A RIGHT IMPROPER LITTLE HORROR STORY, WHICH ALTOGETHER DISARMS." -KIRKUS REVIEWS 
  One Hand Clapping is the story of Janet and Howard Shirley, living a dreary life in the dreary fictional northern city of Bradcaster. Howard works at the local garage and Janet works in the local supermarket, and they spend their evenings having dinner in front of the television. Their lives begin to change when Howard’s photographic memory wins them a gameshow fortune. 
   
  Janet doesn’t want their lives to change that much. She is quite happy with the routine of their ordinary life, improved as it is by consumer goods and modern household conveniences. But once Howard unleashes his unusual brain on the world, the used-car salesman can’t seem to stop; and what he sees as the logical conclusion to their success isn’t something Janet can agree to. 
   
  Anthony Burgess’s darkly comic satire of 1960s consumerism explores themes of the importance or otherwise of culture and education and the growing influence of America, and taps into contemporary anxieties about the future.
