funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
This is such a relatable and funny book - it really shows the parts of life we want to hide from others and perhaps suggests they don't have to be as embarrassing as we think they are, but also they are pretty embarrassing.  Includes a playlist from Samantha Irby to the reader, as well as a list of things better than sex, which I largely agree with and definitely laughed my way through.

Welp, I've fallen in love with another essayist and will be obsessively consuming all of their content and then descend into a depressive state when I run out of new stuff by them and stalk their Instagram until I die. This was HILARIOUS and RELATABLE and HEART-WARMING and SAD and DID NOT HOLD BACK and I LOVED IT. I listened to it on audio, which is narrated by the author, and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend that experience.

I really like Samantha Irby's perspective on life and her writing is very funny and very honest. I enjoyed We Are Never Meeting In Real Life but I remember it took me a while to get used to her writing idiosyncrasies. That wasn't an issue here since I listened to the audiobook, which made it much easier to connect to her. Her narration also made it much funnier than if I'd been reading it myself.

Samantha Irby could write about anything and make it into a good time. I'll read anything she writes.
