This is my first Irby book and I will be back for more! The only thing I disliked is a large essay in the book is dedicated to episode by episode reimaginings of Sex and the City which I have never seen so I had to trust through and/or skip. So funny, definitely a great palete cleanser.

Thanks to Vintage Books for the free advance copy of this book.

 - I'm gonna be honest here, it's completely impossible for me to write any real review of a Samantha Irby book. I've been reading her writing for 15 years, going back to discovering her Bitches Gotta Eat blog while rotting away at my first horrible job after college. I will always adore everything she writes.
- What struck me most about this book has been this: it's a joy to grow up alongside Irby's writing. She and I have almost nothing in common, but I've been right there with her the whole time, from being a confused twentysomething to a confused nearly fortysomething.
