I went back and forth on the number of stars to give this one, but I'm settling on this because:
Yes, it was absolutely hilarious. That chapter about the allergic reaction was probably the funniest thing I have EVER read.
I actually identified with a lot of the feelings, situations, etc. that Irby explored which is fun because we come from such very different backgrounds. A lot of the stuff we share in common revolves around anxiety so 😂
The Chicago rep obvi 🙌
I really could've done without the Sex in the City chapter. I know basically nothing about the show and truly do not care about it. Some parts were funny or relatable when she'd go off on a related but not SITC integral tangent, but I almost DNF'd at this point. I'm so glad I didn't, but still!
Early on in the book there is some like really graphic talk about sex and my asexual ass was so fucking uncomfortable lol. I'm sure others won't mind, but it was just too much for me.
