A very fun read that should be done with headphones in. Ms. Irby is such a fun writer, and I'll be reading more of her books in the future.

adventurous emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

fucking hilarious. i especially appreciated her essays on animals and working in animal welfare. sam has such a unique voice and her personification of Hellen Keller the cat and various other hypothetical inanimate objects had me gasping for air (with laughter). a great, quick, reflective and humorous read about relationships, identity, family, and adulthood.
