Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby

funny slow-paced

I did not really enjoy most of this book. There was a lot of eye rolling. The author is an anxious person and listening to her self deprecating rambles and whining about how much she hates parties really gets old. Especially tedious was the chapter “sure sex is great but” which featured that phrase a million times each followed by things she compared to sex that implied they were supposed to be better… but about half of which were neutral at best and many of those seemed downright unpleasant. By the end I was mostly finishing it because a) I was on a long road trip and it beat staticky radio and b) I wanted an “I” author for my reading challenge. 

Also possible this isn’t my top genre… I also struggled to finish “I was told there would be cake” by Sloane Crosley.
