    About this audiobook

    Smart, edgy, hilarious, and unabashedly raunchy New York Times bestselling author Samantha Irby explodes off the printed page in her uproarious first collection of essays.

    Irby laughs her way through tragicomic mishaps, neuroses, and taboos as she struggles through adulthood: chin hairs, depression, bad sex, failed relationships, masturbation, taco feasts, inflammatory bowel disease and more. Updated with her favorite Instagramable, couch-friendly recipes, this much-beloved romp is treat for anyone in dire need of Irby's infamous, scathing wit and poignant candor.

      amazing and hysterical, she is a comedic genius. but also heartbreaking in places.
    • 2/5
      There were a few funny parts to this but I don't think it was worth the time I spent to finish it. It wasn't particularly informative which is what I like. Perhaps there was some insight there, but I couldn't relate at all to the things that she seems to express as if they were a part of normal dating life. After a while, the book just became boring and crass and a bit like the rant of a bitter outcast who needs to grow up.
