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.

Readers loved A New New Me:
'Gleeful . Reading this book is like being the kind of drunk where the night dissolves into a chaos of bizarre events.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'This book was both kaleidoscopic but so real . desperately need to read more of Oyeyemi's writing!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Strange, bizarre, funny, so playful . There's slapstick comedy, meandering anecdotes, and a tantalising central mystery, which the Kinga's will work out, if they just all stop arguing for a minute.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I LOVED the writing . In 7 chapters you get to know Kinga in all her sarcastic glory . This was my first Helen Oyeyemi and I will look out for more to read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
