funny lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

I love Samantha Irby. SHE JUST GETS ME. I feel like we are probably the same person. Even though I’ll never meet her in real life, I will go to my grave laughing out loud whenever I think of her essay, “Fuck it, bitch. Stay fat.”

emotional funny lighthearted reflective sad

I think this was supposed to be funny but it ended up making me want to cry??
I love the premise, and the fat and over 30 narrative snark was fun at times, but very uncomfortable more often than funny. 

Trying to be fat positive in a society that generally hates fat people for just living, the dry humor sticks to the bones, but did not hit my funny bone. 
Perhaps too sarcastic or ironic in tone, but maybe also too close to home for me to really enjoy??? 
I liked it?????

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.

Irby covers a lot in these funny and very open essays: her demon cat, dating experiences, anxiety, and disability. Some parts had me laughing out loud. The digital format I read wasn’t ideal as as the text was crammed together but still very enjoyable.
