i listened to this audiobook on spotify, so i didn’t absorb it as much as i might have the physical copy!
Samantha Irby is one of those writers that can make me cry with laughter AND sadness. she has a raw, unabashed tone to her writing that i really appreciate and resonates with plenty of readers. her essay about her mother’s MS and Samantha’s own early “motherhood” really sparked something in me and helped me to see her in a different light.
this book had a truly shocking amount of “shit” talk in it, but my brand of humor accepted this readily. it was distracting at times from the main messages of other, non-poop-centric essays, but still an important part of her life to highlight.
i definitely like the writing in her other books more, but this was still a worthwhile read!
