We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. by Samantha Irby

river_jean_sterling's review against another edition

I picked this book up because I thought it would be a good balance to the slow period piece classics I'm reading. I ignored the reviews that said it was too dark, too self depreciating, inappropriate and immature thinking it would be acerbic and funny. It ended up feeling sad, pathetic, and honestly gross. 

After the essay in which she talks about being explicitly propositioned by an adult when she was thirteen but not acknowledging anything wrong with that, I only attempted another one or two essays before giving up. I never came across anything funny, it was all just depressing.

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.
