What a fun time. I wanted it to never end. Loved Shrill, and now I want to read everything else that Ms. Irby has written.

I think this was Urby's best book yet. It had many laugh out loud moments but also the brutal honesty that makes me love her writing. I particularly related to Body Negativity and A Guide to Simple Home Repairs. I found Hello, 911?, We Almost Got a Fucking Dog, and Hung Up! to be extra funny. I appreciate someone putting in print that they have no goals because it makes me feel better about my love of television and lack of deep career aspirations.

Great audiobook. Especially enjoyed  Girls Gone Mild, Hung Up!,  Are You Familiar With My Work, and My Hollywood Summer.

rbacon's review against another edition

funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

This is such a relatable and funny book - it really shows the parts of life we want to hide from others and perhaps suggests they don't have to be as embarrassing as we think they are, but also they are pretty embarrassing.  Includes a playlist from Samantha Irby to the reader, as well as a list of things better than sex, which I largely agree with and definitely laughed my way through.

Welp, I've fallen in love with another essayist and will be obsessively consuming all of their content and then descend into a depressive state when I run out of new stuff by them and stalk their Instagram until I die. This was HILARIOUS and RELATABLE and HEART-WARMING and SAD and DID NOT HOLD BACK and I LOVED IT. I listened to it on audio, which is narrated by the author, and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend that experience.
