Samantha Irby is so unapologetically herself and I dig that vibe so much.

emotional funny inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

I’ve never read anything within this genre before, and I LOVED Samantha Irby and her writing style. I always felt like I was reading about some different part of herself, and was never bored.

Samantha Irby often talks about sex and her sexual experiences, but not in a way that would be sexualized, they’re simply stated and described matter-of-factly. There is one story that describes sexual assault. There is one story that describes panic/anxiety attacks.

funny lighthearted reflective relaxing

3.0

Couldn’t decide if I found Irby to be insufferable or hilarious. Sometimes I felt she was trying too hard to make me laugh and other times I did genuinely laugh out loud. 

If it wasn’t for the fact that I’d borrowed the book from my boyfriend and she’s one of his absolute favourite writers, I’m not sure I would have bothered finishing this book.

I feel like with these content warnings I made this book sound horrific. Irby brushes over topics lightly and with self deprecating humour. She’s not shy about her sex life or her shitty childhood or both her parents being dead, but seeing as all the essays are essentially unrelated then you can just skip past any that might feel a little too close to the bone for you.
