"Wow, No Thank You" was my first Irby read, and I really enjoyed it; so I was excited to read more of her essays. Meaty was actually her first novel and it's just as awesome, if not more so!
Wow, No Thank You probably made me laugh more because it really leaned it to the vulgar grossness of life. Meaty also made me laugh, but also focused more on Irby's earlier life, her childhood, losing her mother, and growing up and learning to adult.
Again, 100% worth listening to her audiobooks because she narrates them herself, and her voice really adds even more to the experience.
Her books aren't for everyone. She is very open and candid about everything from her sex life to her VERY DETAILED life with Chron's disease. She is unashamed and has no filter and I love it.
