I skipped several sections already and wanted to keep skipping more so it’s probably not for me

I enjoy interviews with the author but on the page the body humour was not for me!

I love her. Enjoyed this just marginally less than her first 2 books, but still an absolute banger.

Ya, just soooo not my thing. I think Samantha Irby is probably a delight to most people, but I also think she is the kind of person I actively try to avoid. THe kinda person who goes out of her way to take ‘extra’ to a whole new level. Her extra is extra. And not in the good way. Just, like, stop. Stop sharing. Just stop.

The most quotable books I've read this year. Samantha Irby is hella relatable, and I officially love her.

Mystery box book #18!
Look, I think Samantha Irby is genuinely funny; I've seen her perform live and she can absolutely own a crowd. But this book just made me feel bad, which is not a great thing for a supposed humor book to do. Irby's style -- her whole schtick, really -- is self-deprecation, which I know a lot of people find refreshing and relatable. But here, especially when the other main theme is aging, it just feels to me like we're listening to Sam -- our cool, clever, witty friend Sam -- call herself a dumb bitch for 300 pages. Would you say that about your friend, Sam? No? Then stop saying it about yourself! Stop making it the load-bearing pillar of your work! Because every echo of "yeah, this is me, I'm just a dumb bitch too!" does not feel like a healthy mental space to put myself in.

My first introduction to Irby - and I found that she is hilarious and irreverent. Definitely a great bit of escapism from these crazy times. Not G rated for sure!
