À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This essay collection from the “bitches gotta eat” blogger, writer on Hulu’s Shrill and HBO's And Just Like That, and “one of our country’s most fierce and foulmouthed authors” (Amber Tamblyn, Vulture) is sure to make you alternately cackle with glee and cry real tears.

"A sidesplitting polemicist for the most awful situations.”—The New York Times

Whether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making “adult” budgets; explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette (she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something"); detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes; sharing awkward sexual encounters; or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms (hang in there for the Costco loot!); she’s as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.

Poignant essays on what it’s like to be a modern, anxious adult navigating the weirdness of the world. Told lovingly by the author in a tone that makes you feel like she’s sitting you down at a cafe and filling you in on the last 6 months of her life. Delightful from start to finish.

Super Funny, Relatable and Endearing Stories

This is the first book I have listened to by Samantha.What caught me off guard was the amount of descriptive sexual/genital talk. Maybe if I was younger, I'm 59, I would find this more entertaining. I do like her dry sense of humour, and reading the book herself made it stand out more.

funny at times

Hilarious and smart. Full stop. Helen is iconic. Can’t wait to pick up the rest of Irby’s titles.

LOVE

Unfortunately I really didn’t like this book. And not every author should be reading their own book.

Disappointed

not really funny. more just cringy stories of awkward or sad or abusive scenes that are trauma-dumped onto the listener. keep making excuses for being broken and not healing in the right ways, but also admits to never even trying or seriously considering seeking professional help. I guess I don't get the point of this book. no lessons learned, no good example set, no triumph over your history. just life sucks and I'm wallowing in it. but sassily.... alright.

hope you take the profits and see a therapist
