This is one of the funniest, if not THE funniest, book I've ever read (or listened to)! This is like stand-up comedy in audiobook form! Samantha Irby is razor-sharp in narrowing in on many elements of the millennial plight in essays such as Hung Up! (smart phones), Into the Gross (wellness), Hysterial! (female reproductive systems), A Guide to Simple Home Repairs (you can probably guess where that's going), $$$ (being constantly broke), and more. She hits on the nose the many details that make life annoying, embarrassing, and awkward and uses comedy to have you die laughing about it! She is incredibly sardonic and self-deprecating, which became much at some times, but she definitely knows how to poke fun at herself. Be warned some areas get more graphic and are more like "potty humor." But overall, wow, what a force! The audiobook is a must and her level of tone in the narration is perfect. The next time I hate myself or the world and need a good laugh, I'm definitely picking up and listening to her next set of essays.
