Raw and hilarious. And not for those with overly delicate sensibilities. ( )

Absolutely hi-la-rious! Randomly bought it while in London for a couple of days, and was awkwardly trying not to gigglesnort while on the subway ( )

I just absolutely love Samantha’s style of writing. So many times I burst out laughing or could hard relate to what she writes. Great writer! ( )

Samantha Irby is a badass. I need more of her essays in my life. In fact, I read this first before her other collections - one which just recently came out, "Wow, No Thank You..
Thank you for making me laugh, being REAL af, and your universal witty observations of what it's like to be single in your 30s. ( )

audiobook nonfiction, biographical essays - narrated by the author

Samantha Irby is always unflinchingly honest and open, and often hilarious - here she relates about her childhood (having to assume the role of caretaker of her mother after a brain injury) and about her ongoing struggles with Crohn's disease, and about her general ineptitude when it comes to certain parts of adulting as a 30-something independent woman. She talks a lot about sex in this, her first book, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but then again not everyone would be down for reading so much about pooping, either. ( )
