funny lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

I love Sam Irby's writing, but bodily fluid jokes just don't do it for me, so whole chapters of this I found to be quite off putting. Highlights did however include her experiences in early days of the pandemic, how to talk to teenagers (relatable even to me at 25), and why she makes a good dinner party guest (also relatable).
